Bòlit. Girona Contemporary Art Centre, a new cultural facility with the aim of developing research, production and exhibition programs for contemporary artistic projects. Due to the presence of creators and professionals from other fields of knowledge, as much local as national and international level, Bòlit will be deeply involved within its context.

This highly dynamic and active art centre will present a full programme of exhibitions and other integrated or related activities, such as workshops, lecture cycles, urban interventions, projection cycles, specific proposals and works in process. Initial priority will be given to the content of the art centre, before the building itself is even finished, and the initiative will seek participation and involvement by civil society right from the very start.

While the new art centre building is under construction on the site of the former barracks near Parc del Migdia, several city spaces have been made available for holding exhibitions and activities. These include La Rambla Exhibition Hall (Bòlit-LaRambla) and Sant Nicolau Chapel (Bòlit-SantNicolau), as well as other areas around the city where one-off events or ongoing activities can take place.

On the other hand, the two new city art spaces, Dadespai and El Niu, will provide Bòlit with the temporary infrastructure needed to develop research and production projects.

As regards territorial scope, Bòlit will draw together and catalyse initiatives and programmes carried out in Girona province, and encourage collaboration and exchange relationships between the various projects. Links will also be established between the centre's creative production and other research and creation spheres and contexts at an international level.
