Nellimya Arthouse

Free entry

Nellimya Arthouse is a creative habitat immersed in the woods of Aranno, in the Malcantone region: a home dedicated to the encounter between nature, art and SPIRIT, designed according to the principles of the golden ratio.

Founded after nearly eight years of activity of the Nellimya Exhibition at the Stabile Federale in Piazza Riforma, Lugano, the house now hosts exhibitions, artist residencies, workshops, cultural events and interdisciplinary gatherings.

Since 2026, Nellimya Arthouse has been developing the curatorial project THE SPIRITUAL IN ART – The Code of the Subtle, a platform for research and dialogue open to all creative disciplines. Through an international Open Call, the project invites artists and designers to explore the spiritual, perceptual and transformative dimension of contemporary art.

Each year, approximately four artist residencies are hosted, each tailored to the specific needs of the individual projects. The programme is enriched by workshops, parallel events and convivial moments such as Canvas to Table, where art, thought and exchange come together.

Nellimya Arthouse is also home to the non-profit associations ALA_Aranno LandArt, dedicated to environmental art in the Malcantone region, and Rosa delle Donne. More than a traditional gallery, it is a lived-in home: a place where artistic creation, hospitality, landscape and everyday life intertwine naturally.
