This new year, Swab Barcelona will have a new space, the Plaza Universo, providing access to the Fair from Avenida Maria Cristina, which will enable the organization of artistic activities in the same fairgrounds. The aim of these activities is to offer the possibility to young emerging artists to present their work in the context of an international art fair.
