"Girls Just Want To Have Fun" gather a small group of artists (women and men) whose work show "high ludic density".

The display, open through Saturday May 31, includes works of art created by artists Álvaro González, Catarina Branco, Michael Swaney, Nuria Mora, Laura López Balza and Arancha Goyeneche.

As a prize, Absolut is going to acquire a 3,000-euro artwork for its collection. On the other hand, one of the ballots for the Award has been handpicked and the winner is going to be given 1,000 euros to buy a work in any of the participating galleries.
