THE VENUE

In the heart of Poblenou, Sant Martí, stands La Escocesa, a former industrial complex dating back to 1852. Once a textile chemical factory, it's now a consolidated hub for contemporary art creation. This industrial architecture bastion, recognized as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest, reclaims its factory legacy to host artist residencies and foster analog production in the 22@ district. A space that defines Barcelona's constant cultural evolution.
