WHAT IS SHOWTIME BARCELONA?
Located in the heart of Barcelona's vibrant Raval district, Showtime is a unique fusion of streetwear, graffiti culture and contemporary art.
More than just a concept store, we are an inclusive community hub for creative expression, dialogue and social change. Run by and for artists, writers and curious minds from all walks of life, Showtime is committed to breaking down traditional barriers and celebrating diversity in all its forms.
OUR MISSION & VISION
At Showtime, we strive to create a space that is welcoming and safe, where artistic expression knows no boundaries. Our mission is to challenge the status quo of mainstream art spaces by embracing counter-culture and empowering voices often left on the sidelines. Whether you're here to shop, learn, or engage in meaningful conversation, you are an integral part of our dynamic community.
Our curated selection of streetwear, books, zines, accessories, and art transcends the conventional shop experience — each item tells a story of activism, culture, and social impact. We focus on supporting local artists and charitable causes, offering exclusive, thoughtfully selected pieces that resonate with our core values of resistance, diversity and creative empowerment. In a neighborhood facing the challenges of gentrification, crime and social issues, Showtime aims to be a catalyst for positive change. We seek to integrate deeply into the local culture, respecting and supporting our community while contributing to its vitality and resilience. Through art and activism, we endeavor to foster meaningful dialogue and make a lasting impact in our neighborhood.

ESPACIO CANDELA
Espacio Candela, our independent contemporary art space, is a platform dedicated to pushing boundaries and challenging social norms. It is a space where art meets activism, amplifying marginalized voices and addressing some of the most pressing social issues of our time. With a mission to inspire inclusivity, dialogue and transformation, Espacio Candela is a place where emerging and established artists come together to create bold, socially relevant works that provoke thought, reflection and cultural exchange.
Through its carefully curated exhibitions, Espacio Candela fosters an environment of critical reflection, encouraging the community to engage with art as a means of challenging the status quo and fostering a deeper understanding of the world around us. Here, creativity plays a vital role in social dialogue, breaking down barriers and inspiring positive change within the art world and beyond.
At Showtime and Espacio Candela, we are redefining how art, culture and activism intersect. Join us as we work to create a more inclusive and transformative world through creativity and community.
