Showcasing the digital art movement in the scope of the magnificent history of Florence

Florence

The Primavera Digitale festival is a week of exhibitions, educational events, and social gatherings for those who create, collect, and want to learn about digital art. The festival  seeks to shift public perceptions of digital art and highlight its cultural impact. 

Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, is the ideal place to present our ideas to academics, curators, critics, and the public.The city draws direct parallels between our movement and the great Florentine thinkers.

The historical venues, spring in Tuscany, and the energy of the Renaissance will elevate the ethos of our proposal as we onboard more people to the digital art community.

Florence as a symbol will make our Digital Spring a message to remind the world of our work while honoring the city and artistic movement that transformed the world.

Events are free to the public but space is limited and require registration.
