After the success of the 2025 edition, YouNique Boutique Fair of Arts is getting ready to return to Lugano for its seventh edition, entirely dedicated to Swiss and international contemporary art, scheduled from March 27 to 29, 2026. Once again, the event will take place in the elegant setting of Villa Ciani, overlooking Lake Lugano — a historic venue that has hosted the fair since 2018. Here, artists, galleries, and contemporary art enthusiasts will gather in a refined and welcoming atmosphere, unique for an art fair. With its strategic position between Northern Italy, Switzerland, and Central Europe, YouNique reaffirms its international vocation and looks forward to the upcoming edition with great enthusiasm.
Now recognized as the only contemporary art fair in Italian-speaking Switzerland, YouNique confirms its distinctive format and spirit: an exclusive, carefully curated event that celebrates the quality of artistic expression and encourages direct encounters between artists, gallerists, and visitors. Following the successful decision to dedicate the fair entirely to contemporary art, the Boutique Fair of Arts in Lugano has established itself as a must-attend event for those who love art and wish to experience and collect it in an intimate, elegant setting.
The 2026 edition will once again feature live performances, new projects, and thought-provoking moments, including the return of thematic ART TALKS organized by Hub/Art, YouNique’s strategic partner. These discussions will explore current topics in the art and collecting world, offering the audience an engaging experience that blends emotion, knowledge, passion, and dialogue.
The fair’s curator, Andrea Peri, aims to bring art beyond the walls of Villa Ciani, involving the city of Lugano in an even more open and dynamic artistic journey. The names of the exhibiting artists and galleries, along with the 2026 program highlights, will be revealed soon.
