Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo

What Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo does

Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo is a private Italian non-profit cultural foundation founded in 1995 in Turin by Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, with the mission of promoting contemporary art through exhibitions, education, and curatorial training. It operates four physical venues across two countries: its headquarters and exhibition space in Turin, the Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Art Park (a free-admission outdoor installation park on San Licerio Hill in Guarene designed by landscape architects Lorenzo Rebediani and Vera Scaccabarozzi among Nebbiolo vineyards), the Isola di San Giacomo location in Venice, and Fundaci\u00f3n Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Madrid (established 2017 in Spain as a wholly-owned branch operating exhibitions at host venues across Madrid). The foundation's core product surface consists of rotating contemporary art exhibitions featuring international artists (Tauba Auerbach, Carsten H\u00f6ller, Paola Pivi, Diego Marcon, June Crespo, Lenz Geerk), a dedicated education department serving schools, families, adults, teachers, and visitors with disabilities (with accessibility infrastructure including tactile maps, LIS video, and quiet spaces), professional training via the CAMPO programme, and the Young Curators Residency Programme (YCRP) running since 2006 in Italy and 2020 in Madrid. Additional revenue-generating projects include ArtColLab (a non-profit limited-edition artist-designer collaboration programme sold via its own e-commerce platform and featuring partners such as Nicholas Kirkwood, Stella Jean, Tauba Auerbach, and Michael Armitage) and on-site facility rentals (142-seat auditorium, bookstore, cafeteria). The foundation is sustained primarily by annual public grants from the Italian Ministry of Culture, Regione Piemonte, and Comune di Guarene (over \u20ac1.07M disclosed for 2024 including PNRR/Next Generation EU funds), supplemented by private patronage, membership revenue, and event rentals. Hans Ulrich Obrist (Artistic Director of Serpentine Gallery London) has curated the Madrid exhibition programme since 2020, and the foundation works with strategic partners including Fondazione CRT, Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, Reale Foundation, ASJA (for sustainability), Villa Arson, and Bard College's Center for Curatorial Studies.
