Street art in a gallery
Street Levels Gallery brings urban art into an exhibition space, with a focus on the links between artists, public spaces and the city around them. Its programme includes work by local and national street artists, offering a change of pace from Florence’s better-known Renaissance art.
The gallery began in 2006 and was the first of its kind in Tuscany. It grew from a meeting between artists and cultural organisers, with the aim of creating a place for artistic experimentation and collaboration.
Artists to look for
The gallery has shown artists whose work is also visible on Florence’s streets. Clet is known for altering street signs. Hogre works with stencils, while ExitEnter draws matchstick figures held up by red balloons. Blub’s series, L’Arte Sa Nuotare, depicts historical figures wearing diving masks and goggles.
Exhibitions can help you connect these different approaches to the city’s public spaces. The works range from interventions associated with street signs to images that have become familiar on walls around Florence.
Browsing and buying
The collection includes original works and prints, with pieces by urban artists available to browse and buy. Staff can explain the gallery’s focus and help with questions about the art. If you are considering a purchase or need assistance with an online order, contact the gallery directly.
Street Levels also works beyond the exhibition space, through projects and collaborations with cultural organisations and institutions. Its gallery programme is one part of a wider interest in how street art meets the public.
