A curatorial project arising from the continual search for innovative proposals and contents in design, art, fashion and food. It is not easy to explain briefly the innumerable facets of Promenade du Port. It expresses a new vision of luxury in the heart of Costa Smeralda. A promenade of 350 meters, on two levels, capable of meeting creativity in all its forms. The open-air concept store houses boutiques, art galleries, cafés and lounge bars, gourmand restaurants. Promenade du Port is a pole of excellence reflecting the real essence of the bien vivre, characterized by authentic flavors and aromas, special moments and particular experiences in the world of art, fashion, culture and entertainment. The 2015 season in particular, is full of events with international scope. Starting from the MDM Museum, the only museum dedicated to modern and contemporary art present in Costa Smeralda, after exploring the great masters of Pop art, Warhol and Rotella, Keith Haring and Jean Michel Basquiat, this year it will bring Street art in the Promenade with the exhibition “Urban painting – Street Art Exhibition”, on until 30 September.
Promenade du Port is home to major galleries and it offers to all art and design lovers the opportunity to discover exclusive galleries of international success.
