For any art class or student, coming to Barcelona is always an inspiration, an excitement and very possibly a dream for many foreign artists (whether coming from Britain, Germany, France or any other country). Just seeing Gaudi’s work, the Picasso museum and the Miro museum is such an inspiration; I should know as I too was once one of those art students visiting Barcelona for these very three reasons. However, above all that, can you imagine actually being able to exhibit your work in Barcelona? The answer is probably yes, but actually going further than imagining it is beyond most budding artists’ wildest dreams.
Well, there’s a new organisation that can make these dreams come true. They’re called Untitled Barcelona and they arose from the idea that two friends had that art should be accessible to everyone. According to Jessica Casey and Xavier Kaye, no-one should feel intimidated about art, visiting new exhibitions and going after what they want, no matter how old they are, how much money they have or how much ‘art-speak’ they know. So they decided to create a space in the centre of Barcelona where anyone can exhibit their work.
For a small fee, this organisation provides art students with a once in a lifetime opportunity (for most) to exhibit in the centre of one of the most contemporary art melting pots in Europe and maybe even the world. They provide all necessary marketing for a week long exhibition and even provide you with a full week of cultural and arty activities so that you can make the most of your time in the city. The company also provides similar experiences for young, up and coming artists, no matter what their situation.
Even if you’re not a budding Picasso or the next Miro, this gallery is one hundred percent worth the visit. Who knows, you could be one of the first people to see work from the next big name in the art world.
