We’re very excited to share that Drap-Art is part of the Art Explora Festival, which opened yesterday and is turning the city into a meeting point for art, territory, and sustainability.

Over the coming days, we’ve created our own space within the festival: a Drap-Art stand where you can discover a selection of small-format artworks by different artists, browse our catalogues, and learn more about what we do and what we stand for.

The Art Explora Festival is a free, travelling cultural project that sails across the Mediterranean, offering unique artistic experiences aboard the world’s first museum boat, as well as in different spaces across host cities.

Festival opening hours: daily from 10:00 to 22:00

In addition, Drap-Art is hosting three special workshops on March 27, April 1 and 2, from 10:00 to 11:00. A chance to experiment, create, and connect with art through a sustainable lens.

You’ll find us at our stand on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Thanks to everyone who makes this vibrant space of shared culture possible.

See you there?

As the year comes to an end, we would like to sincerely thank you for the wonderful reception of the Drap-Art’25 Festival. The participation and support of audiences, artists, collaborators, and institutions have made it possible to create a vibrant, committed edition open to dialogue around art, sustainability, and social transformation.

We would like to extend a special thanks to everyone who joined us for the closing event during Rebirth Day, held at Plaça del Rei.

2026 will be a very special year: we will celebrate the 30th edition of the Drap-Art Festival, and we are already preparing many surprises, new projects, and collaborations that we are very excited to share with you.

Following the conclusion of the main programme of Drap-Art’25 Festival, we would like to inform you that some exhibitions will remain open beyond December 21st, offering new opportunities to visit them at a more relaxed pace.

On the one hand, Visual Interactions, by Lesley Yendell and Enric Alonso Masana, at the Historic Archive of the City of Barcelona – Casa de l’Ardiaca, has been extended until January 10th.

On the other hand, at Mater, Casa Museu de la Plaça de l’Oli, the exhibitions Mediterranean Sustainable Art and Human Impact can be visited until January 25th. From now on, Mater will change its opening hours and will be open only on Saturdays and Sundays, from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm.

In addition, we encourage you to visit the outcome of the “Trash Light” workshop, a light-based intervention created from recovered waste materials, which will remain installed at Mater, Casa Museu as part of the festival programme.

You can vote for your favourite artwork from the Exhibition of Artists Selected through the Open Call at Espai El Borsí per al Barri, either by using the QR code available in the space or by informing the front-of-house staff directly.
