Threads of Sport: an exhibition at the Chiostro di Voltorre exploring

Threads of Sport at the Chiostro di Voltorre

From April 11 to 26, 2026 the Chiostro di Voltorre in Gavirate presents Threads of Sport, a group exhibition that examines the relationship between art and sport. Promoted by the Culture Group of the Municipality of Gavirate, with the patronage of the Province of Varese and in collaboration with Blaue Reiter ODV and Keramicos APS, the show features more than twenty-five local artists.

The exhibition goes beyond competition to explore sport’s symbolic and emotional dimensions: the body in motion, the memory of achievement and the aspiration to goals. Works include painting, ceramic sculpture and site-specific installations, each artist choosing a discipline and translating it into a personal narrative.
