Gallery tips for Genoa

A few things worth knowing before you work through Genoa's art galleries:

• Small galleries take risks at Artroom Piazza Ferretto. Artist-run spaces show the work the big institutions won't. Some of it's baffling; some of it's the future.
• Read the wall text at LifeForms. It's short and it's there to help. Even the cryptic ones give you a way into the work.
• Buy the catalogue. Exhibition catalogues are the affordable art book. They sell out after the show closes.
• Ask about the price list. It's normal to ask, even if you're not buying. It tells you how the market values the work.

Good to know

We searched about 25 km around Genoa — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Genoa can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 3, or a art gallery we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 3 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
