Centre Grau-Garriga d’Art Tèxtil Contemporani

The Grau-Garriga Centre of Contemporary Textile Art (in Catalan: Centre Grau-Garriga d'Art Tèxtil Contemporani) is a contemporary textile art centre located in San Cugat del Vallès, in the former remodelled farmhouse of Cal Quitèria. It is the first centre of contemporary textile art in the whole of Spain. It is the result of the original project of Josep Grau-Garriga and of the will of the city of San Cugat to promote and disseminate contemporary textile art. The museographic project and the curatorship of the exhibition were carried out by the historian and art critic Pilar Parcerisas. The centre is designed as an active art centre dedicated to promoting the work of Josep Grau-Garriga, as well as the dissemination and understanding of the Escuela Catalana del Tapiz and of textile art in all its international currents. The inaugural exhibition was Cien años de tapiz en Sant Cugat.
