Gibraltar Fine Arts Gallery

Gibraltar Fine Arts Gallery

The Fine Arts Association Gibraltar was started in 1998 following a request by the Ministry of Culture, however, the association’s roots really go back to around 1954 with the formation of The Calpe Artists Society which organised exhibitions every year, including the first International Painting Competition in 1962.

The main objective of the Association is to be the representative body in Gibraltar of persons engaged in Fine Arts and to promote and encourage fine arts and appreciation of Fine Arts, including the organising of exhibitions and fostering links with businesses, educational establishments and the general public and also with artists and fine arts associations from other countries.

The art scene in Gibraltar is extremely vibrant, especially considering the size of Gibraltar’s population which is around 30,000. There are a large number of artists of various standards and levels of commitment currently working in the Rock and there is quite a growing art buzz around the Fine Arts Association and Fine Arts Gallery.
