What does GRAF offer
— Shared calendar
Access to the internal organization tool for GRAF’s spaces. It gathers the information of all the activities planned for the future or in the process of being programmed. The aim of the calendar is to share this information in the mid and long term, in order to generate valuable knowledge and enable the strategic planning of new activities. The advantage of this is the optimization of resources. GRAF provides direct contact with the rest of GRAF’s spaces.
— Public agenda
Bring to light and spread the programme of the spaces in the public access agenda. The agenda offers a quick consultation site of GRAF spaces’ programme, proposals from different fields of contemporary art and from all over the Catalan geography. The aim of the agenda is to make the programme of institutional and independent spaces/projects more accessible and to contribute in the development of new audiences, facilitating the transfer between different disciplines.

Access to all the information related to the spaces and their programmes published in GRAF, both present and past. GRAF generates an archive of the events that have taken place in the context of Barcelona and Catalonia, as well as of the spaces that have been part of them. Thus, GRAF contributes to the collective memory, visibilizes the reality of the context and offers a free access point to check this information.
