Cromartie at Argillà Italia 2022
Since 2008, Argillà Italia has established itself as a leading festival of Ceramics in Europe: a rendezvous of great attraction for the public, but also an important moment for exchange among the operators of the ceramic system and a unique opportunity to network nationally and internationally. The context is Faenza, a city whose cultural identity is strongly related to ceramic production, which still today represents a reference in Europe and worldwide: Faenza is one of the most renowned centres for majolica in the world, from which the name Faiences originates.
Argillà Italia was created as a spin-off from the French “mother” event Argilla, that has been held in Aubagne (Marseille) since 1991, similarly proposing a selection of exhibiting ceramists of high quality, coming from all over Europe and the World, as well as a rich and various program of events and animations, providing a truly international overview on contemporary production of ceramics (both traditional and innovative).
Argillà Italia is organized by Foundation MIC – International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza, together with the Municipality of Faenza.
Discover the world of ceramic art and handicraft, enjoy the international ceramic festival and market-fair along the streets of the historic centre, with many exhibitions and cultural events.
