Minispace

miniespai brExperiment, create and play

At ACVic, we have created a new reading and playing space where children, teenagers, families, educators... where we can discover various games, illustrated books or albums, to inspire them to create, experiment and play through contemporary artistic activities.

In playful surroundings, you can discover art games and books and do the activities, making use of materials which will be provided and the help of the specialists. You'll discover new ways of playing with creativity, including various ways of understanding the contemporary arts.

When we can use the Minispace?

- the use is free, and the opening hours are:

From Tuesday to Friday from 10.00 to 13.00 h and from 17.00 to 19.00 h
Saturday from 11.00 to 14.00 h and from 17.00 to 19.00 h

Who the miniespai is aimed at, and how to use it:


- Accompanied children, and young adults and family groups. Discover, read, create and experiment together.


- Teachers seeking to bring new activities in the classroom.



- And anyone interested in discovering new play and educational resources within the field of the visual arts.




* The ACVic team can offer help to anyone using the Miniespai, and the books to be found there.
