Based in Chiasso on the very border Switzerland-Italy, founded in 1990 by Guido and Daniela Giudici, Cons Arc is an art gallery focused on contemporary photography - an open space where renowned as well as emerging authors from all over the world are featured and/or launched. An open space reflecting open minds, Cons Arc includes a reputed photo framing and conservation lab creating a virtuous system with the gallery. Therefore, Cons Arc is a cultural centre where photography is passionately selected, exhibited, promoted, preserved, collected and all the time shared and talked about - maybe breathed, too.

Attracting talents and involving connoisseurs, collectors and just curious people is Cons Arc's tireless mission. 4-6 thematic events a year are produced and hosted in the gallery.
As photography is other than a 2-D art, Guido and Daniela only choose works they consider stimulating, deep. Beyond these activities, Cons Arc animates courses and workshops, lectures, a thematic library and festivals such as Biennale dell'Immagine in Chiasso.
