We are thrilled to announce that from this year, Hub/Art Exhibition will join YouNique – Boutique Fair of Arts as a Strategic Partner.

This strategic partnership marks a significant step forward in the contemporary art scene: Hub/Art joins YouNique – Boutique Fair of Arts as a strategic partner. This collaboration aims to enhance and promote contemporary art in all its forms, offering a unique experience in the heart of Lugano.

YouNique: An Exclusive Art Experience at Villa Ciani

YouNique is a “boutique fair” dedicated to contemporary art, distinguished by its exceptional location: Villa Ciani, a historical gem with period frescoes and a breathtaking view of Lake Ceresio. The event, sponsored by the City of Lugano and Lugano Region, is curated by Andrea Peri and Sonia Gaffuri of Target Management, experts in organizing high-level events.

The fair, now in its sixth edition, has consolidated its position as a meeting place for various forms of creativity.

From 2025, the fair evolves, dedicating itself entirely to contemporary art with the ambition of establishing itself as a leading artistic hub in Canton Ticino, a point of reference for enthusiasts and professionals.
