ABOUT

The Cultural Association Areacreativa42 was born in 2008 and it’s located at Casa Toesca, in the historic centre of Rivarolo Canavese (Turin).

The purpose of Areacreativa42 is to promote and value historic and contemporary art, with a particular attention to new generations, by creating exhibitions, events, educational path, workshops and artists residencies.

The eighteen-century house Casa Toesca is composed of many areas around an enchanting garden and five showrooms over two floors in the main house.

In the last four years the Areacreativa42 program has developed more and more in the direction of the artist residences and of the “Young curators” project with a view to offering support to the young generations, giving an opportunity for educational growth and the opportunity to make experience in the field of art. The residence has become a vector for spreading knowledge in close contact with local public administrations and with the cultural heritage of the area. The young people involved, volunteers, artists, curators and students, take on the role of mediators of contemporary cultural reality in a local context.
