Renart Awards
Paint the swallows of Barcelona!
Open call until June 6th!
Throughout the 575 years of activity of the Antic Gremi de Revenedors Association 1447, there has always been – at different times in history – a desire to support the world of art.
The Renart Awards were created with a view to further expanding the association’s art collection and, at the same time, giving an opportunity to young artists to become part of an art collection that dates back more than five hundred years. The name of the award pays homage to Joaquim Renart, a revered artist and cartoonist from Catalonia, of whom the entity has an important collection.
In order to improve our collection and promote artistic creation, we are proud to launch the call for entries for the Renart 2023 Awards, under the theme “Paint the Barcelona of 2048” and with the following prizes:
- First prize of €3,000
- Second prize of €1,500
- Third prize of €1,000
2023 Call for Entries
On Thursday, 25 May 2023, the ceremony for the 1st edition of the Renart Awards was held in the guild hall.
