The venue
Reial Cercle Artístic - Institut Barcelonès d'Art
Birthplace of Modernism, artistic dialogue since 1881.
Nestled in the Gothic Quarter, the Reial Cercle Artístic, founded in 1881 by luminaries like Ramon Casas and Joaquim Mir, has always been a cultural powerhouse. Recognized by Alfonso XIII in 1916, it spans Palau Pignatelli and Casa Bassols at C Arcs 5. This architectural gem, boasting 16th-century roots and renovations blending Gothic and Renaissance styles, was instrumental in shaping Catalan Modernism. Dedicated to visual arts, literature, and music, it hosts exhibitions, talks, and workshops, preserving a collection of over 700 works and an extensive archive.
