Acquisitions programme
Addressed at private companies and foundations that commit to incorporate artworks from the participating galleries into their collections. First three participating entities:
Fundació Vila Casas, faithful to this initiative since its first edition in 2017, has confirmed its participation in the eighth edition of the programme. This non-profit institution was founded by Antoni Vila Casas (Barcelona, 1930-2023) in 1986 to promote Catalan contemporary art, and currently holds four exhibition spaces in Catalunya.
Joining this edition for the first time is Fundació Sorigué, which builds up one of the most important contemporary art collections in Spain with more than 450 works by national and international artists. The collection is housed in the museum of Fundació Sorigué in Lleida (Catalonia), where, in addition to the permanent collection, temporary exhibitions are programmed focusing on promoting contemporary artistic creation.
Also taking part for the first time is Fundació Úniques, created in 2023 with the aim of promoting the work by women artists based in the Països Catalans, and collectionism as a way of contributing to the preservation of contemporary art.
