Arteficium provides a space to debate how the arts and crafts offer material to rethink institutions, value, values, and what it means to be human in the contemporary world.
Arteficium offers opportunities to meet and rediscover the joy of the encounter through wandering, explorations, and debates inspired by the place where these take place: Palazzo Butera and Palermo.
Each encounter is curated to make the experience memorable and unique.
We are working on the second edition of Arteficial. It will take place in Palermo on the 13-16 October 2026. The experiment offers opportunities for reflection, exploration and debate by curating a series of place-based experiences at Palazzo Butera. By wandering through its collection and the neighbourhood, the Kalsa, both inserted in the long history of Palermo and Sicily, we will generate insights to be discussed together.
