EMERGING YOUNG ART FESTIVAL STRIPART 2025

Bases de la convocatoria

From June 27 to July 18, 2025, the Centre Cívic Guinardó will be the stage for the 29th edition of Stripart, a festival dedicated to emerging art. This event explores different forms of artistic expression, innovatively combining them through a multidisciplinary proposal. Stripart stands out for its strong commitment to supporting new artistic voices, offering them complete creative freedom. Furthermore, the festival challenges traditional norms of established artistic circuits, breaking with conventional curatorial logic and promoting an open space for diversity and experimentation. The main goal of the festival is to provide a platform for young artists, enabling the visibility and production of their projects. It also aims to foster spaces for dialogue and knowledge exchange.

8. Awards
The exhibition, showcase, or presentation of the projects will not be remunerated. However, Stripart works to ensure that the presented projects have continuity in other art spaces:

• • Performing Arts Residency at the Centre Cívic Guinardó
    A jury will select one performing arts company to develop a creative residency at the Centre Cívic Guinardó during the 2025/2026 term, with the goal of presenting a new work at the same Centre Cívic. This company will receive 200 € in support of the creation.
  • Solo Exhibition at the Centre Cívic Guinardó
    A jury will select two participating artists to develop an exhibition project in the Centre Cívic Guinardó’s exhibition room, during 2026. These selected artists will receive 200 € in creation support and will be assisted by curators to design the exhibition.
  • Residency at the A Cobert Creation Space 
    The A Cobert technical team will select one person who presented their project during the Stripart Festival to develop a one-week residency. A Cobert’s residencies aim to provide a suitable space and conditions for the development of artistic and/or research projects, as well as serve as a platform for dissemination, support, and advice for artists.
