Passion for art

Galeries d’Art de Catalunya (GAC) is a non-profit association dedicated to the communication, support and promotion of the visual arts in Catalonia.

About us

The association was founded in 1978 and is the first association in the sector in Catalonia and also in Spain. Its objective is to create a positive impact on the ecosystem of the visual arts in Catalonia through the development, support and exposure of its art galleries, spaces and associated organisations, as well as its artists and their different disciplines.

Mission and values

Our mission is to bring the visual arts to the general public and develop projects and actions for our associates through the promotion of their exhibitions, activities and artists, both locally and internationally.

Galeries d’Art de Catalunya also provides a space for dialogue and a collaborative network between different participants, organisations and institutions with shared values. The association wants to contribute in this way to the growth, improvement and development of art galleries and the entire visual arts sector in Catalonia.

Our initiatives include: promotional actions, art days, artistic routes, conferences and round tables, publications … We develop annual events such as “Setmana de l’Art a Catalunya”, conferences on art and the gallery business,  and the GAC Awards.

Being part of Galeries d’Art de Catalunya implies the acceptance of values and a code of ethical and professional practices in the relationship between members and their clients, artists, collaborators and in all their commercial activities, and to support the mission of the association.
