Those who nobody knows of just yet, but may be the future masters of tomorrow? Here, Culture Trip select eight of the best galleries in Barcelona to discover up-and-coming artists.
1. Blue Project Foundation
The Blue Project Foundation is a multidisciplinary art venue where all who enter its doors are invited to reflect upon contemporary art in an open and respectful manner. It’s also a place of creation thanks to the residency program that enables young artists to develop and grow with the support of the foundation. And did we mention that it’s home to one of the most popular vegan cafés in town?
