IDbGLAM FESTIVAL CITY · Locarno
Locarno
GLAM+P
Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums plus Performing Arts. One open, shared map of Locarno's cultural life, from the screens of the Locarno Film Festival, held here every August, to the city's theaters, museums, libraries and archives.
We're starting with the Locarno Film Festival venues and Locarno's historic stages. We want every museum, gallery, library, archive, theatre, music venue, dance company and community cultural space in the city on the map, telling its own story.

Why take part
Taking part costs nothing and takes a few minutes. Here's what it gets you.
You control your listing
Claim your organization and update your own hours, photos, accessibility details and contact information. Visitors see a clear Managed by this organization badge.
Your programs travel further
Every exhibit, screening, performance or talk you add appears on your page, in Locarno event searches and in citywide discovery, from one single entry.
Trusted, checked information
IDbGLAM independently checks basic details against official sources and shows the date, separately from who manages the listing.
Shared data for the whole city
Funders, tourism partners, schools and researchers can see Locarno's full cultural landscape, including small and community organizations that are often missed.
Neighbors, not just competitors
Each page shows nearby cultural places on a map, so a visit to one organization leads visitors to the next.
Shape the platform
Participating organizations help decide what IDbGLAM builds next, from collection links to accessibility standards.

Questions
What does GLAM+P mean?
Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums, plus Performing Arts. In Locarno we're including film festival venues, cinemas, theatres, music venues and dance alongside collecting institutions, because visitors don't separate them and neither should a city map.
Does it cost anything to claim a listing?
No. Claiming is free and takes about two minutes. Once claimed, you can update your details and add photos, exhibits, events and accessibility information.
What is the difference between “Managed by this organization” and “Details checked by IDbGLAM”?
Managed means the organization has claimed the listing and is authorized to update it. Checked means IDbGLAM independently compared the basic details with official sources, on the date shown. A listing can have either, both or neither.
We don't have a building. Can we still be listed?
Yes. Touring companies, ensembles and programs without a permanent venue can be listed, and their events can be linked to the venues where they take place.
Where does the starting information come from?
Basic records are compiled from public, official sources such as the organization's own website. If anything is wrong, claim the listing to fix it or send us a correction.
