Fabra i Coats – Barcelona Art Factory is a new concept in cultural facilities that gives support to creativity, talent and innovation in the city. In close contact with the most emergent artistic creation and with the different local collectives, it also intends to become a venue with international outreach.
In the framework of the Barcelona Art Factories programme, Fabra i Coats – Barcelona Art Factory stands out for its multidisciplinary nature and because it is a meeting place for groups, creators and cultural proposals from different spheres and backgrounds. Activities at Fabra i Coats go back to 2012, when 6,500 m2 were refurbished as facilities for musical creation, the performing and visual arts and as an incubator of cultural management projects.
WHO IT’S FOR.-
Fabra i Coats – Barcelona Art Factory is launching a second edition of the call for its incubator for cultural initiatives directed at groups, managers, producers, disseminators, distributors and cultural leaders, micro-businesses and small cultural businesses, artists, start-up business initiatives and cultural associations in need of a place to work on their project.
The wish to extend research into new forms of creation, production and dissemination of cultural proposals will also be considered, as well as new trends in organisation and operation.
Consideration will also be given to the project’s potential for generating initiatives and ideas in the framework of Fabra i Coats – Art Factory.
