Press release: Cultural VAT now!

Dear visitors:

Given the paralysis and lack of response from the Government to our demand for a reduction in VAT on the sale of works of art for artists and galleries, which would end the disadvantage compared to other European countries that already benefit from cultural VAT, Spanish art galleries will close their doors from February 2 to 7, thus ceasing an activity that we defend as essential for society: free and constant access to artistic creation.

For one week, all galleries in Spain will cease to be free cultural spaces open to all citizens as a form of protest and to draw attention.

We await you from the 9th, when the galleries will reopen to continue defending their role as meeting places with culture, sharing our spaces with all of you.
