Exhibition Celebrates Artistic Talent and Inclusion
Over 50 artworks created by nine artists with intellectual disabilities will be displayed in Barcelona as part of the exhibition Mirades diverses, opening on Thursday 12 November 2026 at the Pavelló Sant Manel within the Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau. The event is a collaboration between Fundació Randstad and Fundació AMPANS, bringing to the city works developed in the L’Art de Viure workshop in Manresa.
Free Access with Prior Booking
The exhibition, which runs until Tuesday 12 January 2027, is open to the public free of charge, though visitors must book in advance via email at [email protected]. All artworks are available for purchase, with 100% of proceeds going directly to the artists.
This project brings to Barcelona the creative work carried out in Manresa, offering a platform for expression without labels or prejudices.
The exhibition model has previously been showcased in Madrid, Seville, and Valencia, promoted through social innovation hubs and cultural partnerships.
