For the first time the Premio Termoli is organized by MACTE – Museo di Arte Contemporanea di Termoli, established in 2019, and is curated by Laura Cherubini.

Following the tradition, the 62nd Premio Termoli consists of an exhibition of contemporary artists, invited this year by 4 selectors: among the participants, the jury will choose a winner whose artwork will be acquired and enter the museum’s collection.
