Riba Rocks has opened the call for the 5th edition of Riu d’art to local, national and international artists of any discipline. From today until the 5th April, artists can present their artistic proposals online.

The Riu d’art presentation takes place on the 22nd June in Riba-roja d’Ebre. Meeting in the Town Hall square at 7pm. We will make a tour of the new artworks culminating in live music and bar service in the Placa del Forn.

9 artists from 8 different countries are currently staying in the village of Riba-roja d’Ebre. They have been selected to make various artistic interventions on the walls of the houses in and around the old town. Riu d’art is an initiative of the Riba-rocks Cultural Association, which is in its fourth edition this year.

Here you can view the artist presentations from Riu d’art 2018. Most presentations are in English, but there are translators into Catalan and Spanish.

Thank you for attending the official presentation of the third international ‘Riu d’art’ residency. Organised by the Association of Riba Rocks with the support of the Town Hall of Riba-roja d’Ebre.

Canal Terres de l’Ebre visited the Mercat d’artesans and interviewed artists about their residency in the village.

Oliver Hall is one of the few international artists who gained a residency in the Catalan town of Riba-roja d’Ebre and the opportunity to produce his own work of art inspired by the region.

International artists Jennifer Kilgour, Oliver Hall, Anna Georghiou and Phil Bird have arrived in Riba-roja d’Ebre. They will stay for two weeks absorbing local culture and traditions. They will take inspiration from this to create their site-specific artworks in the streets of the village.
