Contact Page - Summer Art Workshop in Barcelona, Spain

Metáfora, Barcelona:
Metáfora is an international art school situated in an old factory building in the centre of Barcelona, capital of the Catalan region in Spain, on the northeast Mediterranean coast. Metáfora is an international centre of Contemporary Art and Art therapy, offering courses and activities of both disciplines. Students come from many different countries, and a variety of backgrounds. We expect them all to have some previous experience from other art courses.

Summer Studios: During the summer, Metáfora offers its spaces and facilities to students and professionals from the fields of art and design. Individual spaces are equipped with studio-furniture, easels etc. and participants will have open access to all the art-making facilities of the centre. During this period Metáfora can organise for art tutors and technitians to come on request for accorded hours for tutorials and technical advice. All tutoring is in English or Spanish.

In essence, the Summer studios is not an art-course, and artists come to work at Metáfora with specific objectives and independent goals. However, if an artist on the summer studio needs more than a simple run-trough of the available techical facilities, a tutorial can be arranged upon request. For this pupose we have a list of tutors to contact, should any of the artists need specific help in technical aspects or simply want to talk to someone abut his/her work. We can also arrange for small courses (4-6 hours) of specific techniques if a group of students come together around this idea.

The Metáfora Summer Studios is designed for art-students and professionals with some experience in art. The time frame and structure requires a large amount of self-discipline and peronal maturity. Minimum age is 19, and we encourage mature students to apply.
