This new concept of art gallery intends to bring the enormous world of art closer to the audience that has been banned by the elitism of traditional galleries. The intention of Artevistas is to change the opinion, art is only for a small group of people.
Artevistas can be found at Passatge del Crèdit 4, a place unique and formidable through its architecture, atmosphere and its great location between the Ramblas and Plaça Sant Jaume in Barri Gòtic. This “finca” is known as the building where Joan Miró was born, in 1893. The building was once famous for it’s representative architectonic style with its structure and ornaments of iron which has been preserved in the design of today. Indeed, you have to be attentive to not miss the small narrow passage with it’s magical lights. Enormous iron gates show you the way to the two‑part art space in the middle of the passage. Through the varying music in the exhibition part and the friendly staff, you really feel invited into an open space of art without the pretentiousness of an art institution.
The repertoire spans around 800 art works in a permanent exhibition and more than 50 various artists, both established and newcomers, and also covers a great diversity of art styles, techniques and formats. To commit the audience and keep it up-to-date in the ever changing world of art, the gallery features new artists every month and a half in temporal exhibitions within a particular subject. At the Artevistas art gallery, the artists have to fulfill certain criteria of quality and hold an original and recognizable style.
