Casa d'Arte is a contemporary art centre focused on the Mediterranean, where visual and culinary arts are combined.Nestled on the heights of the city centre of Bastia, this project is located within a former convent built in the 16th century, which forms part of the island's architectural heritage. This unusual place was born out of the lack of space for creation and sharing for contemporary art, combined with the wealth of Corsican culinary culture. Casa d'Arte becomes the theatre for encounters between the different arts and artists, for exchanges with local craftspeople who can come and contribute their expertise and for sharing with the public. Visitors make use of the spaces as they explore freely, restoring the building’s former place within the city.
