 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 all over the
world, with an average of 28-29 students
each year.
The profile of a typical student on the
International Workshop is that of a young person
aged between 19 and 35 years of age, holder of a
degree in Fine Art, Design, Architecture or
similar. It could also be a person with some
experience in art (min. A-levels) who is
preparing entry to higher art or design
education (graduate or post-graduate).
 Generally Metáfora attracts people who wish to explore the culture of
another country as well as their own creative
potential. Our students are expected to posses a
large amount of self-discipline and maturity, as
well as some basic knowledge regarding different
techniques.
During free studio time each student works on
individual projects, choosing materials and
working techniques according to his/her own
interest. Thus, while some students can be found
working with photography or painting, their
fellow students may be working on sculpture,
fashion design, performance or
installation-making.
The International Workshop is a full-time
course (in English), designed for young artists and students of Fine Art or Design. The in-house tutors at Metáfora are available to
students for advice on materials and techniques,
and for in-depth supervision of personal work.
Visiting tutors at Metáfora are artists and
professionals who make a living from their
artistic production.
Interested in Art-Therapy as well?
As a student on the International Workshop you
are welcome to attend the introductory courses
in Art-therapy (evening classes) during the year
with no additional charge (subject to
availability of places). The introductory
courses are a requirement for entry to the MA in
Art Therapy (Universidad de Barcelona), a Master
Degree course which we also run. Teaching on the
Art-Therapy and MA courses is exclusively in
Spanish.
Summer Art Workshop
- The Summer Intensive 2008 is a 2-week
studio-based contemporary art program in
English, created for students and professionals
from the fields of art and design.
