JaguArt

JaguArt is an innovative artistic project launched in 2019 thanks to the dialogue between Artissima and Jaguar Land Rover, based on a shared desire to support emerging art and to trigger fertile long-term synergies of collaboration.

A true Road Show across Italy in search of young talents in the visual arts.

10 Italian cities, 10 Jaguar Land Rover dealerships, 10 contemporary art galleries, 10 Academies of Fine Arts, and 10 artists are the protagonists of a journey across the cities of Milano, Torino, Catania, Roma, Venezia, Firenze, Genova, Napoli, Bologna, Brescia.

On the occasion of each stop, a jury of experts consisting of curators, gallery owners and collectors have selected the winning young talent (discover all the stops here)

The 10 finalists were the protagonists of two group shows: the first one held at the Chalet de l’Ange in Courmayeur, which for the entire Winter season became the centre of the initiatives of Jaguar Land Rover, in partnership with the municipality of Courmayeur; the second was hosted at GAM–Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Torino.

A special perspective on the two exhibitions is narrated in the video below: a guided tour led by Ilaria Bonacossa (Director of Artissima) to let you discover more about the artists and their works.

Here below you will also find two virtual tours to venture into the digital discovery of the two events, to move at 360 ° among the exhibited works and to deepen the practice of the artists thanks to detailed forms.
