CRUÏLLA ARTS: 15 YEARS OF ART, CULTURE AND CREATIVITY!
The arts program at Festival Cruïlla 2025 is the most extensive and ambitious we’ve ever presented. For this special edition, we’re bringing back elements and collaborations that have accompanied us throughout the festival’s 15-year journey, giving them a fresh new perspective within a space designed to reflect the city’s creative talent. From visual arts to large-scale installations, participatory actions to popular culture, this artistic journey offers a vibrant snapshot of Barcelona’s creative, diverse, and dynamic spirit.
At Cruïlla, we see art as an experience that should inhabit every corner of the venue. That’s why year after year we’re committed to expanding the program and providing platforms for artists from a wide range of disciplines—filling, beautifying, and transforming the festival. We support both emerging and established projects, always seeking to enrich the audience’s experience through a constant dialogue between music, art, and culture.
Discover all the artistic proposals waiting for you from July 9 to 12 at Festival Cruïlla 2025! 🎨
