Art Gaucín 2026

The whitewashed streets and historic corners of Gaucín will once again become a showcase for contemporary art with a new edition of Art Gaucin, the annual cultural event that transforms this beautiful village in the Serranía de Ronda into a vibrant showcase of creativity, inspiration and open doors for the public.

Over two weekends — 29, 30 and 31 May, and 5, 6 and 7 June 2026 — artists living in the town will open the doors of their studios to share their creative processes, their works and the intimacy of their workspaces with the public.

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

This year, the collective is enriched by the addition of two new artistic voices: Belén Montero, who works in textile art, and Adrian Barclay, who specialises in painting and printmaking.

Art Gaucín also brings together artists of recognised national and international standing such as Sánchez Zabaleta, Juan Antonio Sangil, Raffaela Zenoni and Ira Goldberg, amongst others.

José María Díez and Roderic Stokes will participate as guest artists in this edition.

In addition, the El Convento Cultural Centre will host a group exhibition bringing together works by the participating artists, making it one of the key venues for this year’s event.

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

The event invites locals and visitors, lovers of art and charming villages, to wander the streets of Gaucín and discover the open studios.

Information maps for the tour will be available in studios, bars and restaurants across the town.

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