L’arte che cura

Scarperia e San Piero (FI) – Giving shape to an emotion, telling what words struggle to express, finding in the creative gesture a space to listen to oneself. From these possibilities is born “The Art that Heals”, the collective exhibition organized by the Spazio Brizzolari Museum, scheduled from October 24 to November 21, 2026 at the headquarters at 188 Kennedy Avenue.

The exhibition, curated by Antonio Burgello and Beatrice Viola, with artistic direction entrusted to Marco Paoli, investigates the bond between artistic production and the psychological universe, drawing attention to what happens to the creator: the confrontation with one's own experiences, the emergence of memories, the search for a language capable of embracing even the most difficult experiences.

The exhibition path connects several languages of the visual and plastic arts: from painting to drawing, from sculpture to installations, from fine art photography to illustration and digital graphics, up to mixed media and polymaterial techniques, in dialogue with the theme of mental health and with the relationship between creativity and inner well-being.

“The Art that Heals” invites the audience to pause on the creative process as well as on the finished work: on the gestures, on the choices and on the emotions that accompany its birth. The inauguration took place on Saturday, October 24 at 4:30 p.m., with a wine tasting organized by ONAV. The initiative enjoys the patronage of the Municipality of Scarperia e San Piero.
