Barcelona is about to witness an unparalleled event that aims to fascinate lovers of art and good vermouth: the Artemisa BCN Market. This celebration is not only for fans of witty illustrations or talented crafts, but for anyone curious in search of inspiration and creativity in a relaxed but vibrant atmosphere.
A connection between art and history
This event is centered around *artemisia*, a plant that, beyond being a main ingredient in iconic drinks such as vermouth and absinthe, has inspired artists of all kinds for centuries. Taking advantage of this historical nexus, the Artemis BCN Market proposes to become a key meeting point for all those who wish to immerse themselves in the world of graphic creation.
The event not only aims to showcase works by local artists, but also to spark a creative dialogue between illustrators, publishers and collectors. Visitors will have the opportunity to talk face-to-face with artists, learn about their creative processes, and purchase everything from original works to limited editions.
Meeting with the protagonists of art and craftsmanship
Prominent creators will be present at this market. Some resonant names include illustrators such as Pau Ricart, Roger Font and Ana de Lima, who will bring fresh and possibly unpublished proposals inspired by vermouth. In addition, firms such as Colorín Colorado, known for its graphic-inspired ceramics, and ELARA Design, with surprising jewelry designs, will enrich the artistic offerings.
The event will also feature an official glass illustrated by Miguel Bustos, who has an impressive resume collaborating with international firms. Bustos, in his prominent role, illustrates the glass with a unique design that highlights the important relationship between art and vermouth.
A feast for the senses
Beyond visual art, Artemisa BCN Market’s proposal extends to other dimensions of the sensory experience. Music and exquisite gastronomy will accompany the artistic journey, while tasting some of the best vermouths on the planet from different parts of the world.
Participants will be able to explore a selection of vermouths ranging from the traditional Italian brand Carpano, pioneer in the creation of this drink, to innovative proposals from places like Argentina and Reus. The diversity of flavors and aromas promises to delight even the most demanding palates.
A necessary space in times of change
Artemisa BCN Market arrives in a context where technology, especially artificial intelligence, is reshaping the art scene. The market, therefore, is positioned as a space that celebrates irreplaceable human creativity, moving away from art as a simple product and rescuing its integral value as a process and emotional experience.
This event not only seeks to exhibit and sell art, but also to vindicate its role as a source of reflection, inspiration and authenticity. In times where digital production advances by leaps and bounds, Artemisa BCN Market reminds us that art is a unique cognitive and emotional manifestation of the human experience.
A project with history and a vision for the future
Behind Artemisa BCN Market is VADEVERMUT, an initiative originated in 2014 by Goretti Pérez and Álex de Mena, two enthusiasts of vermouth culture trained at the Escola EINA in Barcelona. VADEVERMUT has been a pioneer in promoting vermouth internationally and, after years of success, they launch this new project that fuses illustration, crafts and gastronomy with a playful and familiar air.
Artemisa BCN Market not only gives visibility to a traditional drink, but is also committed to supporting local creators, seeking not only to spread culture but also to consolidate itself as a dynamic scenario of expression and meeting for a creative community in constant evolution.
With all this, it is clear that the Artemisa BCN Market promises to be an unforgettable date in the calendar of every lover of art and good living. Barcelona, a city known for its rich culture and vibrant art scene, becomes the perfect place for this magical symbiosis of talent, gastronomy and tradition.
