Granada hosts the third edition of the Grafic Festival, an initiative dedicated to promoting graphic creation and paper art from different disciplines, languages, and aesthetic sensitivities. From October 14 to December 3, 2026, the festival features a program of exhibitions and parallel activities in various cultural spaces throughout the city, creating an itinerary that connects proposals from both local and international artists.
Grafic was born with the aim of increasing the visibility of graphic work and recognizing paper as a medium for artistic experimentation with multiple expressive possibilities. Through exhibitions, meetings, talks, workshops, and other cultural activities, the festival offers a diverse approach to contemporary practices that find in paper a territory for research, creation, and dialogue.
This third edition incorporates two new spaces linked to the University of Granada: the exhibition hall of the Higher Technical School of Architecture and La Corrala de Santiago. Both venues expand the festival’s route and establish a connection between architecture, heritage, and contemporary art. The itinerary is complemented by private spaces such as ESPACIO OMNIA and the Gar-Anat Boutique Hotel, reinforcing the presence of artistic creation in different spheres of the city.
The program begins at the Higher Technical School of Architecture of Granada (ETSAG) with Papel Síncrono, an exhibition that brings together painting, drawing, and paper sculpture by Lola Moral and Belén Mazuecos, along with the participation of the guest artist Bettinna Geisselmann. The proposal establishes a dialogue between different plastic approaches and highlights the capacity of paper to transcend its condition as a medium and acquire new material and spatial dimensions.
At the same venue, the book Diluvio de la Carne by poet Carmelo Sánchez Muros, awarded the García Lorca Poetry Prize in 1970, will be presented. The publication includes engravings by Carmen Ocaña and a cover created by Luz López, adding a new relationship between literature and graphic creation to the program.
