The Venue
MACTE is based not far from the center of Termoli; the permanent collection was created from works acquired through the Premio Termoli, which, born in 1955 as a contemporary art prize, has gained increasing notoriety over time, both among artists and critics and, in 2020, was enriched with a new section dedicated to architecture and design. MACTE represents a unique case in Italy for the documentation of research ranging from post-informal to abstractionism, new figuration, kinetic and programmed art. It ensures the enhancement, research and expansion of the collection and presents works, both pictorial and sculptural, made with plurality of techniques and materials, carrying out many activities such as exhibitions, meetings, screenings, installations and workshops.
