LOOP Barcelona is an annual arts platform in Barcelona dedicated to artists' film and moving-image art.
Founded in 2003, the platform is structured around three sections: Loop Festival, Loop Fair and Loop Symposium. Over a two-week period, the Loop Festival presents works of 800 artists to nearly 200,000 visitors in 100 different locations across Barcelona, such as, museums, restaurants and shops.
44 galleries are annually invited by the Committee of the Loop fair, to present recent works of emerging and well-known artists to 4000 professionals, journalists, curators, and collectors. This selection is completed with presentations of magazines and distribution companies.
Loop is supported by the Government of Catalonia, the Spanish Ministry of Culture, as well as other institutional and corporate sponsors.
