The General Program is the central core of the fair, it includes national and international galleries with a solid track record in the contemporary art circuit. This year, the program will have 39 galleries that will present the most innovative proposals with the latest trends in contemporary art, which in this edition move away from figuration and immerse themselves in abstraction with surrealist lines and poetic and colorful landscapes.

Swab Thinks
Two weeks before the celebration of the fair, and with the aim of actively involving the Barcelona context, the galleries of the Art Barcelona association that will participate in Swab, will be the protagonists of Swab Thinks, a program of talks between gallerists, open to all citizens and curated by Gisela Chillida.
The cycle aims to generate synergies between curators, artists and gallerists through conversations that will be held in the same galleries, with the intention of promoting affinities and relationships with the agents of the local context. The last talk will be held at Santa&Cole, the fair's new collaborator, which reaffirms Barcelona's identity through the tradition of local design and architecture.
