Spain - Barcelona
El Diluvio Universal
By @hanneolsen
In Gràcia you find a small illustration gallery and studio that feels local and welcoming. Since 2013 they mix original works, prints, screen prints and small editions. The team curates solo shows and a recurring collective with Catalan and international illustrators. Exhibitions change often, so each visit is different.
Address: Carrer de les Guilleries, 2, local 2, Gràcia, 08012 Barcelona, Spain
Why go
A clear window into Barcelona’s illustration scene. Small space, good curation and a steady rhythm of shows.
Known for
Solo and collective illustration exhibitions, limited editions and screen prints made with local artists.
Vibe
Intimate and friendly. Posters in the window, brick and light, and a table of prints you will want to bring home.
Tips
Check the program and opening hours before you go. Openings and workshops pop up through the year and are often free with RSVP. Take time to look through the print racks after seeing the walls. Weekday afternoons are calm.
