The Museu d’Art de Girona will hold a family painting workshop, ‘Evoquem Girona!’, on 8 August at 11.30am, inviting children aged six and up to explore the museum’s temporary exhibition ‘Concha Ibáñez. L’evocació del paisatge’ before creating their own city landscapes. The activity is run by the museum’s education service and is limited in capacity, with advance booking required.
According to the museum’s event listing, the workshop is designed to introduce participants to the working methods of Concha Ibáñez (Canet de Mar, 1926 – Barcelona, 2022). Rather than painting directly in front of a scene, Ibáñez assembled drawings, sketches and photographs during her travels and then made her paintings later, from those visual notes and the memories they held. The museum describes the results as landscapes that are not copies of reality but personal evocations shaped by synthesis, colour and emotion.
The session begins with a visit to the exhibition, where families will encounter Ibáñez’s landscape work in the context of the show. Participants will then step outside to look at panoramic views of Girona before returning to the museum workshop to make their own painted version of the city in Ibáñez’s manner. The activity links the exhibition with direct observation of the local urban landscape, but the museum frames it as a family workshop rather than a formal lecture or guided tour.
‘Evoquem Girona!’ is listed as part of the museum’s family programme and is presented as a paid activity for children, while one accompanying adult per child is admitted free. The price is set at 7 euros for the child participant. The museum also notes that places are limited and that prior registration is necessary.
The event sits within the broader public programme of the Museu d’Art de Girona, which offers exhibitions, educational activities and family workshops across its site at Pujada de la Catedral, 12. The museum’s listing identifies the workshop as taking place on 8 August 2026, with the exhibition visit forming part of the activity rather than a separate event.
The museum’s page places ‘Evoquem Girona!’ among a cluster of summer activities, including other family workshops and art events, but the workshop itself is focused on Ibáñez’s exhibition and the process of translating observed and remembered views into a painted image. The museum gives the session a single start time of 11.30am, and no end time is specified.
