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?

This Sunday we return to Port Olímpic in Barcelona together with Flea Market and its monthly market full of art, gastronomy, music, and more than 100 stalls featuring creative and responsible proposals.

Drap-Art will take part with a special stand where visitors will be able to see and acquire the work of Noni Font, who presents fish and marine fauna created from recovered and recycled materials. Her pieces —full of character and sensitivity— transform wood, metal, and found objects into unique marine beings, establishing a dialogue between art, reuse, and environmental awareness. A perfect opportunity to discover her work in person and support sustainable creation.

Sunday, March 1
Port Olímpic, Barcelona
From 11:00 to 18:00

We look forward to seeing you to continue sharing art, creativity, and responsible consumption in the city.

As part of the Drap-Art’25 Festival, the mobile artwork Big Face by multidisciplinary artist Steven Forster will be on display in the lobby of the Eurostars Laietana Hotel.

Steven Forster is a multifaceted artist working in sculpture, painting, music, composition, performance and interior design. Since arriving in Barcelona in 1988, he has played an active role in the alternative art scene, exploring polypoetry, visual arts, installations and experimental music. He is a founding member of Drap-Art, and recycling has always been a core element of his artistic practice.

Among his most representative works is Big Face, part of his exploration of the human figure through the Monigòtics: abstract beings that distill identity to its purest essence. Big Face features a large-scale face built from recycled materials, evoking the iconic presence of humankind without references to gender or individuality, and inviting viewers to reflect on our shared human essence.

We thank the Eurostars Laietana Hotel for its collaboration and support in this new edition of Drap-Art’25, helping sustainable art continue to expand and engage in dialogue with the city.
