Farm Cultural Park is an art gallery and artist residence located in Favara, in the province of Agrigento. Since its opening, it has hosted temporary works by artists such as Sara Fratini, Massimo Sirelli, La Fille Bertha, and many others. The gallery was founded on June 25, 2010, by notary Andrea Bartoli and his wife, lawyer Florinda Saieva. It is situated within the Cortile Bentivegna, a complex made up of seven small courtyards that house small buildings and is located near the historic center of Favara.
The main purpose of the Farm Cultural Park project is to recover the entire historic center of Favara and transform the town into the second tourist attraction of the province of Agrigento after the Valley of the Temples. The three places that inspired this project are: In 2011 the museum won the "Cultura di Gestione di Federculture" award and the following year it was invited to the XXIII International Architecture Exhibition in Venice.
The British blog Purple Travel has placed the Farm Cultural Park and Favara in sixth place in the world as a tourist destination for contemporary art, preceded by Florence, Paris, Bilbao, the Greek islands, and New York. This recognition highlights the importance and appeal of the Farm Cultural Park as a destination for art lovers and tourists alike.
