Artists in Barcelona: Artist Ally 1-Year Community Gathering

To mark this moment, we’re opening the circle.

This Saturday, we gather at After School (Calabria, 25) — the new headquarters of Znak Community — for a session that blends conversation, reflection, and collective experience.

Whether you’re new to Barcelona or have been building here for years, navigating the art scene is rarely straightforward.

This gathering is an invitation to pause and ask:

• Where am I in my journey?
• What do I need right now?
• How do I move through this city as an artist?

• A short introduction to Artist Ally and how we help people like you
• Open conversation around navigating Barcelona’s creative ecosystem
• A collective mapping experience
• Space to meet other artists, creatives, and cultural practitioners
• Birthday celebration & informal hang

Artists, creatives, curators, cultural workers, and anyone building a practice in Barcelona.

Artist Ally is a platform supporting artists and cultural practitioners to find clarity, build structure, and navigate the art world—through tools, maps, and community.

Info: Come early to settle in, have a drink or bite, and get to know the space and the people around you. This is a moment to arrive slowly, meet others from the community, and ease into the day before the session begins.

Info: A guided session exploring what it means to navigate Barcelona as an artist or creative.

We’ll introduce Artist Ally and share reflections from our first year—focusing on the realities of building a practice in the city, especially for those arriving from elsewhere.

This will take the form of an open conversation, inviting different perspectives from the room. Together, we’ll look at how clarity, structure, and community can support more intentional paths.

Info: An interactive, participatory moment where we begin building a shared map of the artistic ecosystem—starting from our own experiences.

Participants will be invited to reflect on where they are in their journey, and connect that to places, spaces, and moments in the city that have shaped or supported them.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
