Overview

FineArt Igualada was created in 2012 by the Agrupació Fotogràfica d'Igualada and the Igualada Town Council. The main objective of the festival is to bring photography closer to all audiences, to revitalise the venues where the exhibitions are held and to showcase Igualada as a city of photography and design. The aim is to fill the spaces of Igualada city with photographers from around the world, photography schools, and amateurs for twenty-four days. Cultural activities will also be organised around the theme, including talks, round tables, guided tours, and workshops for adults and children. FineArt aims to promote artistic creation through photography and raise awareness of this medium in schools. Additionally, it aims to open doors to photography, art, and design schools to showcase their projects.

The exhibition spaces are diverse, including the Tannery, the rectory of the church of Santa María, various schools, the municipal market, municipal and cultural facilities, old factories, and currently unused premises. These spaces are transformed into temporary exhibition areas during FineArt to showcase the works.
