Something Lasting
Something Lasting
The Italy International Center is building a permanent home for art, culture, and international dialogue — a space in Italy where creativity has no borders. We invite you to help make it real.
The Vision
A permanent home for Italian culture
Since our founding, the Italy International Center has brought people together across continents through art and shared imagination. Our exhibitions have traveled from Sarasota to the historic Palazzo Gallio in Alvito, Lazio — and we have seen firsthand what happens when creative people from around the world gather in Italy.
Now we are working toward something more permanent: a dedicated space in Italy — a home for exhibitions, a haven for artists in residence, and a stage for ongoing cultural exchange. This is where your support comes in.
Exhibition Space
A dedicated gallery in Italy to host rotating international exhibitions, bringing art and ideas from around the world to the heart of the country.
Artists in Residence
A residency program welcoming artists, writers, and makers from across the globe — giving them time, space, and community to create new work in Italy.
Cultural Programs
Concerts, workshops, lectures, and community events that celebrate Italian heritage and foster connections between cultures near and far.
