Art School in Barcelona (Studio Arts program)

Experimentation and playful investigation both form the core of all art making, and at Metàfora we believe in encouraging dialogue and debate within the creative process. In a truly international atmosphere, students and practicing artists collaborate in creating an experience where play and constructive criticism walk hand in hand.

Metàfora’s contemporary art activities consist of a full time studio-arts program, the International Workshop. Artists and art students with different backgrounds and experiences come from a variety of countries, giving the place its distinctive international atmosphere.

Students have their own studio-space in an old industrial warehouse. The course offers total immersion in art and culture in Barcelona though studio-visits and taking part in gallery exhibitions.

Metàfora is housed in an old factory complex and attracts artists and art-students from all over the world.
