ARTransforma is a non-profit organization created in Barcelona in 2009 with the aim of promoting artistic projects that promote creativity and universal access to culture.
“ARTransforma is a very real way of networking, where people from different entities and different worlds build something meaningful together. It’s not about helping people but about guaranteeing access to art and culture”
Núria Capdevila, social educator, ARTransforma volunteer

Improve the artistic field by diversifying the opportunities and generating them accessible to all people, especially for those with little or no access.
