Producing exhibitions. Building opportunities. Connecting Europe through art.

Darte produces exhibitions, develops professional tools for artists and creates new connections across Europe's cultural landscape.

Darte is a European system built to accompany artists through the most iconic places in Europe: historic palaces, museums, galleries, independent spaces and international cultural contexts.

Every application can become the beginning of a path — an exhibition, a city, a professional relationship, a new possibility of positioning.

Darte is an organisation founded by Andrea Tapparini, with over ten years of experience in art management and production. Over the years we have collaborated with a wide network of international partners, with a particular focus on the European art scene.

Alongside the continental Program that connects artists and institutions in Europe's most iconic cities, Darte is one of the leading national organisations producing art events and exhibitions in Puglia. In recent years it has helped build a stable cultural system in the region, developing exhibition programs, artistic itineraries and heritage projects in dialogue with public institutions, cultural bodies and private partners.

Darte has taken a central role in designing exhibition programs for the city of Lecce, capital of the Baroque. Through a network of shows, cultural routes and diffuse artistic experiences, Darte works on cultural infrastructures able to engage with the growing flow of Italian and international visitors choosing Puglia and Lecce as a cultural destination.
