Il Chiostro Worldwide! In-Person Art Exhibit in New York Celebrating 30 years of art workshops from Italy and beyond All Images by Il Chiostro alumni

Welcome to the RETURN of Il Chiostro's in-person art exhibit in New York.  Anyone who has taken an in-person or online class with us since 1995 is eligible to submit work for the show.  The work should be something that was inspired by the class or workshop you took with Il Chiostro.  It is a blind juried process and 50-60 pieces will be selected to be in the show.  The exhibit will be at the Salmagundi Club at 47 Fifth Avenue in New York from September 5-12, 2026.  Once that closes, the images will transition to an online portal on the Il Chiostro web site and social media accounts where they will be featured until the end of the year.  The artist's contact information will be available for each piece and sales will be encouraged.  All sales can be arranged directly between the artist and the buyer.
