Art Nou Festival is an annual festival of emerging art that brings together galleries and independent spaces across Barcelona. Venues across the city open their doors to young artists working through experimentation without a safety net. Painting, photography, design and performance sit alongside one another in conversation with an audience that is curious and attentive to what comes next. Walking through the exhibitions offers a glimpse of the names likely to shape the years ahead. For a few days, the city becomes both a working space and a platform for emerging work, defined by new energy, risk and direct exchange.
This is good to know
It’s not just a series of exhibitions: the programme also includes performances, panel discussions and creative processes open to the public.
The festival supports artists’ careers through awards and professional recognition.
