ART FACTORY IN BARCELONA
Metàfora is located in an old factory complex, one of the hidden gems in Barcelona, a privilege for any art student with imagination and flair for cracks and unpolished details. It is close to the centre but placed in one of Barcelona’s authentic, non-touristic
The premises count three ample outdoor patios: The small courtyard with a greenhouse space for project work, the large courtyard with the turtle pond and several seating arrangements, the back entrance with its lovely atmosphere of a forgotten Barcelona.
In addition to large areas with personal studios, Metàfora houses several workshops (welding, woodwork), a kiln, class rooms and project spaces. For specific projects like painting on grand scale, installation building, photo shoots or video projection, students can book additional space to work in.
CLASSES AND STUDIO WORK
The program contains a wide range of classes in different tools and techniques including clay sculpting, welding, screen printing, installation, performance, as well as a weekly session of life-drawing. All classes are taught in English.
All tools and techniques workshops are optional, and when not in class, students work independently in their studio spaces.
EXPERIENCE BARCELONA’S CULTURAL LIFE
Our students get insider’s access to galleries and cultural institutions all around the city. With the help of our faculty of acclaimed artists and curators, the aim is to teach our students to formulate their ideas and talk publicly about their art.

FREE classes during the Easter break
Every Easter, Metàfora offers an Open Day where future students and other curious souls can join the habitual classes for free. Visitors join the program along with the current students. This is an ideal opportunity to get to know the school, ask questions and hang out with some of the students.
This year, the Open Day is complemented by a two-day drawing course for artists interested in Tattoo and Body Art.
