27 art centers taking part in 10th anniversary Barcelona Gallery Weekend exhibitions

Twenty-seven contemporary and modern art galleries will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Barcelona Gallery Weekend with exhibitions from September 19 to 22.

The event traditionally opens the new artistic season each year.

For a full list of the galleries taking part and the various activities planned, check out their website at barcelonagalleryweekend.com.

The 27 establishments are situated in Barcelona and L'Hospitalet de Llobregat and will host the works of some thirty artists from the national and international spheres.

All exhibitions, free and open to the public, will open simultaneously on Thursday 19 September and will be open throughout the weekend.

The initiative aims to highlight the work of art galleries as "spaces that generate culture and knowledge," organizers say.

Alongside the exhibitions, the galleries host a series of free activities such as meetings, talks, presentations, performances and guided tours to get to know the work of the artists and gallerists first hand.

 

Another highlight is the free guided ARC GalleryWalks, and the BGW Familiar program.

This year, routes can be enjoyed all the way up to Saturday, September 28.
