In the heart of Anglona, the Pinacoteca Contemporanea di Laerru was born from the idea that contemporary art can also inhabit places far from major centres, creating new opportunities for dialogue between artistic research, territory and community.
Inaugurated in May 2024 at the initiative of the Municipal Administration of Laerru, the Pinacoteca Contemporanea stems from a project by curator Eleonora Angiolini, commissioned by the municipal administration following the donation of an important collection of paintings and sculptures by Italian artists, created between 1994 and 2024: a collection of works through which to observe some of the transformations that have marked the contemporary art scene in Italy.
Alongside the permanent collection, the programme hosts temporary exhibitions spread across the territory, talks, workshops and an educational programme developed in collaboration with local schools. In 2026, this research also opened up to artist residency practices and the development of new projects in dialogue with the Anglona area.
Specifically, since 2025 the Pinacoteca has been promoting the Laerru Contemporanea programme, an annual calendar of events, exhibitions and workshops designed to create opportunities for dialogue between artists, cultural practitioners, residents and visitors, and to open up the territory to new ways of reading its historical and artistic, tangible and intangible heritage, through the languages of visual art.
In the same year, the institution's visual identity was created by graphic designer Giorgia Cadeddu.
