Mostra PRO Catalan Arts

Once again, La Llotja –located on the first floor of  Museu de la Pell – will be the relational space of the Mostra Igualada, hosting all accredited professionals and a series of activities of interest to the sector.

This year, to further enhance attendance, professional networking, and participation in La Llotja's activities, on Thursday 11, and Friday 12, the show programming will pause from 11:30 am until noon. On Saturday the morning stage agenda will remain active, but activity in La Llotja will be strengthened with a new set of significant events.

In parallel with the organization of activities for professionals, La Llotja will be the welcome point for all professionals, and the space where to carry out everything required for a fair: meetings, informal conversations, exchange of opinions, debate, and also an area to rest or the possibility of enjoying a relaxed atmosphere while having a drink with professional colleagues.
