Hangar is a centre for art research and production in Barcelona, offering support to artists.

Hangar’s mission is to support the visual artists and creators during the different phases of their art production processes as well as to contribute to the best development of their projects. For doing so, Hangar facilitates them equipments, facilities, production assistance and a suitable context for experimentation and free knowledge transfer.

The centre offers an array of services and a framework that allows for the research and development of art productions in their entirety, or partially. Hangar follows up on the results by including the projects in various networks and platforms, or by detecting possibilities for their incorporation within other fields.

Furthermore, Hangar offers services such as equipment rental, technical assistance, consulting, and production follow-up. Hangar also develops art research projects, and run its own activities programme, which includes, among others, presentations, workshops, and other learning activities for artists.

Hangar is mainly funded by the Regional Government of Catalonia and the Barcelona City Council, and enjoys the specific collaboration of the AECID for its grants programme, the Banc de Sabadell Foundation for resident artists’ activities, and the Ministry of Culture, the Provincial Council of Barcelona, and the European Commission for the development of specific projects.

The Visual Artists’ Association of Catalonia Private Foundation is in charge of running its management, and a programme commission, renewed every two years, takes care of its art direction.

Hangar’s management model and its vision as a public service focused on production and research makes Hangar a space that specialises in providing support for artists.
