The 27th edition of Arte al Centro, the annual exhibition of Fondazione Pistoletto Cittadellarte, opens on Saturday 28 June. The program includes the presentation of a new exhibition space: the Palazzo del Buon Governo, which will host new exhibitions by Cittadellarte, with Biella Città Arcipelago, and by Michelangelo Pistoletto.

In what ways can art be at the center of processes of social change based on responsibility?
To explore the implications of this question and the possible answers, Cittadellarte has been organizing Arte al Centro since 1998, a series of exhibitions, performances and meetings that tell the story of artistic practices of transformation in a sense of responsibility towards the social contexts in which they develop.
For the 27th edition of Arte al Centro, whose inauguration is scheduled for Saturday 28 June, a new space of Fondazione Pistoletto will officially open: the Palazzo del Buon Governo. The three floors of the complex will host new exhibitions by Cittadellarte and Michelangelo Pistoletto, in addition to the new headquarters of Biella Città Arcipelago.

During the day, from 10:30 to 23:00, it will be possible to discover the new spaces and the new exhibitions together with the permanent collection for free and take part in the many activities that articulate the program of the exhibition.
