What is Live Art @45° Nord

Live Art @45° Nord is a participatory contemporary art project that reactivates commercial spaces as ongoing art production hubs. The format stages live performances, street art interventions and educational activities, leaving several works in place as a permanent, shared collection.

2026 edition – concept and curatorial focus

The fifth edition, titled “Museum? Yes we are”, emphasizes the project’s museum-like identity: site-specific works remain onsite, contributing to an accessible community collection. The program mixes established and emerging artists, hands-on workshops and an innovative thematic exhibition.

Main program

• Production of street art and live painting sessions by national and international artists.
• Premio Live Art: a juried exhibition with over 150 works (painting, sculpture, photography, graphic art) and acquisition of the winning artwork for institutional collections.
• Interactive solo exhibition “I Don’t Want to Grow Up” dedicated to Marky Ramone, enhanced by augmented reality to combine animation and soundscapes.
• Public workshops and laboratories, free and open to all ages.

Workshops – Officine Urbane d'Artista

Workshops are central to the festival’s participatory approach: free, inclusive sessions led by professional artists that welcome beginners and more experienced participants alike.

• Making portable, personal artworks
• Drawing totemic animals and symbolic imagery
• Creative illustration using traditional techniques
