Pista 500 Prize

Created in 2023 in collaboration with Pinacoteca Agnelli, the Pista 500 Prize will grant an artist the opportunity to produce an artwork for the permanent billboard of the track on the roof of the Lingotto, near Artissima. Pista 500 is the project of site-specific art installations on the former testing track of FIAT automobiles, now a spectacular panoramic promenade.

Inside the fair, an international jury will select the artist to create a specific work for the billboard, the monumental poster that features photographs, images and other visual projects. The work will be unveiled during Artissima 2027. The Prize reflects the new direction taken by Pinacoteca Agnelli, a dynamic center open to the multidisciplinary languages of the present, in dialogue with the institution’s historic collection and with a mission to engage diverse audiences, also through the expansion of programming in the spaces of Pista 500. The work by Iris Touliatou, winner of the 2025 edition, will be presented during Artissima 2026.The work by Iris Touliatou, winner of the 2025 edition, will be presented during Artissima 2026.
