Art Nou 2026 fills Barcelona and L'Hospitalet with more than 110 emerging artists
The 14th edition of the festival starts on June 25 with around fifty exhibitions and a wide program of activities dedicated to young contemporary creation.
From June 25 to September 3, Barcelona and L'Hospitalet de Llobregat once again become the epicenter of emerging art with a new edition of Art Nou, the festival that connects new generations of creators with the professional sector of contemporary art.
The 14th edition of the event will bring together more than 110 emerging national and international artists in a program that includes around fifty exhibitions, guided tours, conversations with artists, performances, screenings, openings and special actions distributed among galleries, institutions and independent spaces in the two cities.
The festival's objective is to stimulate young artistic production, reclaim galleries as spaces for meeting and debate, and promote contact between artists, professionals in the sector and the general public. Art Nou is thus consolidating itself as one of the main platforms for the discovery of new talents and for the establishment of the first professional relationships of creators with the art market.
The opening of the Barcelona exhibitions will take place on June 25, while those in L'Hospitalet will open to the public the following day, June 26. That same day, the opening ceremony of this year's edition will be held at the Isaac Peral Building, with an artistic intervention by Irantzu Yaldebere and Jangitz Larrañaga.
For more than two months, the festival will unfold its programming across the ten districts of Barcelona and various spaces in L'Hospitalet. Among the participants are galleries and reference centers such as Cordova Galeria, ADN Galeria, the Faculty of Fine Arts, La Salle – Ramon Llull University, Sant Andreu Contemporani or Homessession, among many others.
In addition to the exhibitions, Art Nou offers different guided tours that allow you to discover the artistic proposals of different areas of the city. The itineraries cover neighborhoods such as Gràcia, the Raval, the Born or the area around Trafalgar Street, providing a joint vision of the current emerging scene.
The festival will close on September 3rd at La Capella, a municipal space dedicated to contemporary art, with an artistic performance by Blanca Tolsà Rovira that will put an end to an edition marked by the diversity of languages, formats and perspectives of new contemporary creation.
