White Carrara

Carrara, the city of marble par excellence, has always catalyzed the attention of national and international artists, for the value of the marble of the Apuan Alps, the expertise of the workers in the city, the excellence of the artisan workshops.

For the past several years, its history, culture and excellence have been infused with additional life and modernity by White Carrara, the festival that celebrates the Made in Italy design and exalts the city and territory as an ever-evolving creative hotbed, involving the entire historic center, with sculptures, installations and events dedicated to sculpture in all its forms, to photography, film and other art forms.

The eighth edition of White Carrara will take place from June 14 to September 29, 2024, and is titled “Design is back”.
The program is designed to showcase high quality talent and craftsmanship through a series of exhibitions, installations, events and guided tours.
White Carrara 2024 will transform Carrara into an en plein air gallery, an incubator of ideas and projects featuring designers, architects, artists, artisans and companies.

The exhibition-event will be developed around two main focal points: the “homecoming” of historical projects made in the city's workshops and new proposals by contemporary designers, thus facilitating the meeting between generations and the transmission of know-how. A tribute to the historic synergy between the high craftsmanship of Carrara's artisan workshops and the innovative professionalism of local companies.

In addition to the exhibitions, White Carrara 2024 will offer an Off Circuit with the participation of local artists, workshops and art galleries, enlivening the historic center with exhibitions and side events. Special events for the public are also planned, such as guided tours of art workshops and quarries, children's activities, musical events and food and wine initiatives.
