YouNique and Pasto Sospeso: Art meets solidarity

For its 7th edition, YouNique Boutique Fair of Arts 2026 is introducing the Pasto Sospeso (suspended meal), a YouNique charity partner, for the first time, a new initiative that combines contemporary culture and social responsibility. The Suspended Meal, a solidarity project by Rotary Lugano-Lago inspired by the suspended coffee, allows people to donate hot meals to those in need, supporting the activities of the Bethlehem Center led by Friar Martino Dotta and Casa Martini, both managed by the Francesco Foundation.

A dedicated space for the project, manned by volunteers, will be set up along the exhibition route at Villa Ciani to present the initiative and offer the public the opportunity to actively contribute. Supporting the Pasto Sospeso means adding value to the cultural experience, transforming a visit to the fair into a concrete gesture of solidarity.

This collaboration is born from a shared vision: art is growth, dialogue, and relationships, but also awareness of the social context in which it takes place. YouNique is not just a meeting place for artists, galleries, and collectors, but a space where the community recognizes and strengthens itself. Through this synergy, the event affirms its commitment to promoting not only contemporary culture, but also a culture of responsibility and sharing.
