The festival

Transart festival has been making waves in the Trentino-Alto Adige area for more than twenty years.
Starting in Bolzano, the nerve center of the festival, events take place across the region, from north to south, creating a contemporary, inter-regional, and cross-border platform.
Over the years, the festival has also collaborated with many local organisations and with important international festivals, such as MUTEK Montreal, Club To Club, Maerz Musik Berlin, Klangspuren Schwaz, and Elevate Festival.
