About BGW

Barcelona Gallery Weekend celebrates the opening of the season with a special programme in the most relevant art galleries of Barcelona and L'Hospitalet de Llobregat. The exhibitions, previously selected by a committee, are complemented with a extensive agenda of comented visits, talks, encounters, performances, presentations and other activities around contemporary and modern art.

Barcelona Gallery Weekend is a project by ArtBarcelona. Galeries that seeks to showcase and reinforce the rich and varied artistic scene of Barcelona, promote art collecting and highlight the work of galleries, as culture generating spaces open to all citizens, and the artists they represent. From September 18th to 21st 2025, we will celebrate our 11th edition. Save the date to discover Barcelona's art scene!

The Collector is Present: BGW's spring parallel programme, 3rd edition.
From May 8th to 10th, we will meet again in the galleries around The Collector is Present, a programme based on the collaboration between collectors and gallerists, who will develop a joint proposal to be presented in the galleries. The result: a unique agenda of exhibitions, meetings, dialogues, presentations and other activities related to the acquisition of art, highlighting the relationship between both agents and the artists, showing different ways of relating to art and some motivations that may lead to acquiring it.


In addition to the programme of exhibitions and complementary activities, Barcelona Gallery Weekend includes free guided tours through the participating galleries (ARCO GalleryWalks), specific visits for families with children (BGW Familiar), and suggested tours to visit the galleries autonomously (A walk by...).

Moreover, Barcelona Gallery Weekend's Professional Programme is aimed at collectors, curators, art critics and representatives of local and international art institutions. We design personalized tours, professional meetings, social events and exclusive activities to get to know Barcelona's artistic offer and build synergies between our guests.

The Acquisitions Programme addresses foundations, private companies and art collections that commit to incorporate into their collections artworks from among those exhibited in the participating galleries during BGW.
