CreArt Valladolid opens a new call to invite an artist from the CreArt Network to present an exhibition project that will be part of the 12th edition CreaVA 25, to be held between April 25 and May 31.

CreaVA emerged 12 years ago as a platform to promote the works of young artists from Valladolid. Different exhibition proposals of painting, installation, photography, video, illustration, mural...are presented every year in the most diverse spaces throughout the city, such as shops, bars, creative incubators, cinemas, schools, public spaces, etc., turning the urban landscape into the best showcase to present the variety and quality of production and the local cultural fabric. Every edition counts on the participation of around 20 artists and exhibition spaces along the city, and guided tours are organized for the Opening. The CreaVA festival is coordinated within the frame of open events for the celebration of the EU Month of Creativity in May across the CreArt Network and has the support of the European Commission through Creative Europe.
