November 2026 programme
Upcoming activities and final days of Porta’m a la terra en un dibuix
The exhibition Porta’m a la terra en un dibuix is open to visitors until 22 November. Before it closes, we invite you to join us for two activities with Ignasi Blanch and discover his unique way of seeing and drawing:
- Saturday 7 November, throughout the day — Porta’m pel Museu en un dibuix.
A drawing session in which you can explore the museum galleries and sketch the artworks that catch your eye, with tips and guidance from the artist. No previous experience is necessary. Please bring a sketchbook, pencil and eraser. - Saturday 21 November, at 12:15 pm — Porta’m dins del teu quadern.
Ignasi Blanch will open his working sketchbooks and, through drawings and sketches, show us the journey from the first idea to the finished work.
Both activities are free of charge and require advance registration.

A landscape of colour, stillness and poetry: Miquel Ibarz in November’s Finestra oberta
Painter and printmaker Miquel Ibarz (Mequinenza, Zaragoza, 1920–1987) was part of the second Catalan avant-garde. His work is characterised by expressive, colourful figurative art influenced by Cubism, Fauvism and abstraction.
In Marina Baixa, he paints a group of white houses, an intensely blue sea and a sky in violet tones, using colour to transform the landscape into a composition that invites us to pause and look.
The buildings are reduced to simple geometric shapes, while the coastline unfolds in planes of ochre, pink and green. The brushstrokes and overlapping layers offer glimpses of the painting process. The landscape remains recognisable, yet the shapes and colours take on a life of their own. The intensity of the colours coexists with the stillness and melancholy of a place without human presence.
Balancing figurative representation with simplified forms, the work offers a poetic vision of the landscape, one that suggests rather than describes.
The Serra d’Or 2027 calendar is here!

The selected works were part of the exhibition Ulls, nas i boca, presented at the Museu de Montserrat in 2025. Through their creations, the calendar celebrates each artist’s talent, creativity and individual perspective. It also helps raise the profile of art created by people with disabilities and recognise its value in society.
