Via Margutta returns as an open-air gallery: 125th edition of the 100 Painters

When: From April 30 to May 3, 2026. Opening: Thursday, April 30 at 4:00 PM.

The long-running 100 Painters exhibition transforms Via Margutta into an open-air gallery for its 125th edition, presenting the theme “Nature That Changes”. The event stages a dispersed exhibition: artists display works along the street on easels and under umbrellas, allowing visitors close, direct engagement with the art and the makers.

• Location: Via Margutta, 00187 Rome (outdoor exhibition).
• Organiser: Associazione Cento Pittori Via Margutta.
• Theme: the transformation of landscape and the relationship between nature and the city, explored through figurative, abstract, material, and colour approaches.
• Format: dispersed exhibition route with opportunities to speak directly with participating artists.

The show reaffirms Via Margutta’s role as a meeting point between tradition and contemporary practice, with works that reflect environmental and urban change. Visitors can experience a range of approaches — from classical to experimental — and observe how materials, light and mark-making express the theme of metamorphosis.

Practical tips: check daily opening times during the exhibition, wear comfortable shoes for walking along the street and plan for weather, as the event is outdoors. For organisational details contact the Associazione Cento Pittori Via Margutta.
