MIDA International Crafts Fair Florence

April 23, 2022 @ 10:00 am - May 1, 2022 @ 8:00 pm
€7,00

“MIDA, the Florence International Crafts Fair, welcomes every year in the spaces of the Fortezza da Basso artisans and artisanal enterprises of all domains and dimensions, to present to visitors the variety, wealth and quality of a sector that is as hereditary as it is innovative and with an interest that is constantly rising.

The fair aims at drawing out the current frame around craftsmanship and its prospects for the future. MIDA presents the diversity behind the multiverse of crafts, which evolves through a continous conversation between traditional practices and high tech technologies, proper to 4.0 Enterprises, territories and the world. Coexisting opposites, which are always capable of producing elements of competition and strength. “

Started off as the first arts and crafts trade-show in Italy in 1931, MIDA has been deeply woven into the history of the region, with Florence and Tuscany still being today the ideal place for the craft sector’s promotion, research and innovation. Where craftsmanship and creativity have always played, by tradition, an important role in economic terms and in the socio-cultural fabric.

At MIDA, traditional hand-skills are combined with selfproductions, design and emerging forms of digital craftsmanship. Comprising companies whose value is rooted in skills handed down through generations, a continuous attention to detail and an ongoing search for new techniques and materials.

23.-25.4., 30.4./1.5.: 10h-22h

26.-29.4.: 10h-20h
