Amici x MEGA Art Fair

We're heading to Milan!

Amici is proud to announce our partnership with MEGA Art Fair, taking place next week in Milan.

Founded by Marta Orsola Sironi, Mauro Mattei, and Mattia Pozzoni, MEGA is an independent art fair rooted in collaboration, experimentation, and care — values that resonate deeply with Amici's own mission.

Rather than replicating the traditional commercial fair model, MEGA creates space for discovery, intimacy, and new forms of dialogue between artists, gallerists, and audiences. Each edition is a curated gathering of contemporary art galleries, designed to foreground emerging voices and champion a more sustainable art ecosystem.

At Amici, we believe in the power of connection over competition, and we're excited to support MEGA’s growing network of independent galleries and artist-focused platforms.

What to expect from Amici at MEGA:

A dedicated MEGA hub on amici.art featuring interviews, short films, and editorial coverage
Behind-the-scenes content and onsite conversations with participating galleries and artists
Video tours
Interviews ans insights from the fairs founder

We’ll be in Milan all week and can’t wait to meet some of you there.

Come find us at the fair — or explore the MEGA page on amici.art.

About Amici Studio

Amici Studio is a multi-use creative space based in Hastings, East Sussex. Opening in January 2026 at 12 Claremont, next to Hastings Library, the Studio delivers a public programme of exhibitions, events and learning activity for artists, creative practitioners and local communities across Hastings, St Leonards and the wider East Sussex coast.

Exhibitions

The programme is structured around six two-month blocks across the year, each anchored by a core exhibition. These exhibitions form the backbone of Amici Studio’s activity and are accompanied by a wider layer of public-facing events, discussions and artist-led activity.

Events and Public Programme

Alongside exhibitions, Amici Studio hosts talks, performances, Salon Dinners and a monthly talks programme launching in spring 2026. These events create opportunities for conversation, exchange and shared experience around contemporary practice.

Artist Development

Amici Studio supports artist development through mentoring, portfolio conversations and practical workshops. These activities are designed to reduce barriers to participation, particularly for young people, early-career practitioners, disabled people and carers, and those facing financial or social obstacles to accessing arts and culture.

In Progress

When needed, the studio will host short-term artist In Progress occupations, offering space for live making, experimentation and exchange. These projects are process-led and provide opportunities for artists and audiences to engage with work in development.

Community and Collaboration

Amici Studio works closely with local partners and organisations, including Project Art Works, who are based in the same building. Collaboration and shared activity are central to the Studio’s approach, supporting connections across practices and communities.
