When asked, gallery owner Erika Giampaolo, explained that the galleries rather unusual name – RUE de DAA, translates to mean the “way to reach” the perfect combination of 3 forms of creativity – design, architecture and art.

Erika’s philosophy being, that if a space is architecturally, artistically and functionally well prepared, it becomes more than just a room and instead is a container of emotions with its own strong personal identity, which she feels should be the ethos behind every interior.

The RUE de DAA contemporary art gallery is located in the historical centre of Polignano a Mare, Puglia, Italy and exhibits local artists of international renown, from May to September each year.
