Assembly

Assembly is an exhibition programme that platforms emerging visual arts practitioners and collectives in the region. The programme is a yearly opportunity initiated as part of our artist development programme BCN, with artists selected through open call and receiving a production budget for new work. All mediums / ranges of practices welcome; including visual, sound, moving image, ceramics, and small installations, as well as performances that engage with the space or proposals for small interventions.
