Cloe Piccoli appointed Artistic Director of Miart for the Forthcoming Three-Year Term

_{Cloe Piccoli is a contemporary art critic, curator and lecturer. Over the course of her career, she has worked with leading public and private cultural organisations in Italy and internationally, conceiving exhibitions, commissioning artistic productions and developing cultural programmes. Her practice operates across the contemporary art landscape, engaging with institutions, businesses, the media, and the fields of criticism and academia.}

_{Her curatorial approach is informed by a critical methodology that brings together art, architecture and design, combining intellectual rigour with proven expertise in project development, management and communication. The appointment forms part of Fiera Milano’s path of development for miart, accompanying the fair’s evolution by drawing on the wealth of relationships, expertise and credibility built over time together with galleries, collectors, institutions, partners and all those who play a role within the contemporary art ecosystem.}

_{“Cloe Piccoli’s appointment represents a strategic choice that reflects Fiera Milano’s repositioning journey,” said Francesco Conci, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of Fiera Milano. “Our ambition is to invest in miart not only as an established fair for contemporary art, but as a platform capable of creating lasting cultural, relational and reputational value throughout the year. We believe that today a fair must be more than a single event: it should foster meaningful connections, generate content, and play an active role in strengthening the cultural ecosystems in which it operates. Within this vision, miart becomes one of the projects through which we strengthen Fiera Milano’s brand equity and international positioning, while at the same time contributing to enhancing Milan’s role as a European capital of creativity, innovation and culture.”}
