Galleria dell'Arco , started its activity in 2005 in Palermo Italy, exhibiting italian and international emerging artists. Among the artists represented, since the very beginning, a special attention was given to a chinese contemporary art. In 2008 Galleria dell'Arco opened a branch within the famous district 50 Moganshan Road in Shanghai, in order to promote the exchange and the dialogue between the chinese artists' community and the international one. Galleria dell'arco currently holds 4 shows per year in its gallery in Shanghai and 4 in its italian venue.

It also runs a residence program, named 'Revolving boundaries' that is articulated as follows: each year two foreign artists will spend a period of study in Shanghai and two Chinese artists will be instead guests of the Italian gallery. There they will be requested to produce a site-specific works of art, with strong ties to the territory. At the end of the in-residence-program, the results of their artistic research will be shown in an exhibition.

The first foreign artist invited in Shanghai is Domenico Mangano, Italian, a renown presence on the national and international art scene. The first chinese artist invited in Italy is Chow Chun Fai (Hong Kong 1980) that will have a solo show in italy in 2009.
