A taste of local art

Next Event: 12th - 15th September 2024

There was a time when Val Gardena was known throughout the world not for its spectacular scenery and fabulous ski resorts, but for the excellent quality of its woodcarvings. Over the course of the past century, millions of pieces of art have left our valley to be displayed in churches, institutions and private homes all over the planet.

While tourism has taken over as the main source of business for Val Gardena in the last decades, the valley’s artistic veins are far from extinguished. And every year, towards the end of summer, the UNIKA art fair takes place to prove it. During these days, woodcarvings, paintings, bronze sculptures and much more are displayed at the Roncadizza tennis center. Over three dozen artists participate in the event.

If you’re interested in art and want to get a taste of the local scene, you have to attend UNIKA! It represents your best chance to get to know local artists, observe them at work, and, perhaps, fall in love with a piece of art. In that case, rest assured - everything on offer is for sale! Several, including celebrities and politicians, make the trip to Val Gardena for UNIKA every year. You, too, won’t be disappointed!
