The whitewashed streets and history-filled corners of Gaucín will once again become a meeting place for contemporary art with a new edition of Art Gaucín, the cultural event that every year transforms this beautiful village in the Serranía de Ronda into a living journey of creativity, inspiration, and open doors to the public.

Over the course of two weekends — May 29, 30 and 31, and June 5, 6 and 7, 2026 — artists residing in the municipality will open the doors of their studios to share with visitors their creative processes, their works, and the intimacy of their working spaces.

This year’s edition will feature twenty-one artists across sixteen studios, offering visitors a close and authentic experience in which painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, and textile art engage in dialogue with the beauty of the Andalusian landscape.

This year, the collective is enriched by the addition of two new artistic voices: Belén Montero, dedicated to textile creation, and Adrian Barclay, specializing in painting and printmaking.

Art Gaucín also brings together nationally and internationally renowned artists such as Sánchez Zabaleta, Jim Rattenbury, Juan Antonio Sangil, Sian Faber, Ana Pellón, and Ira Goldberg, among others. Guest artists participating in this edition include José María Díez and Roderic Stokes.

As part of the artistic route, visitors will also be able to enjoy the collective contemporary art exhibition at the Shapó Olé gallery, a space joining this cultural celebration with a carefully curated selection of contemporary works in dialogue with the creative spirit of Art Gaucín.

In addition, the El Convento Cultural Centre will host a collective exhibition featuring works by participating artists, becoming one of the key meeting points of this edition.

The event invites residents and visitors alike — art lovers and admirers of charming villages — to wander through the streets of Gaucín discovering open studios, spontaneous conversations, and artworks created in one of the most inspiring corners of Andalusia.

Informational maps of the route will be available in studios, bars, and restaurants throughout the village.

Art Gaucín is not just an exhibition: it is an opportunity to step into the very heart of artistic creation and experience a unique and unforgettable cultural event.
