Strolling through galleries, seeing exhibitions or simply discovering new forms of art is usually an activity that we all want to do but we find it difficult to find the time to do it.
Between routine, weekend plans or excursions we often deprive ourselves of the pleasure of appreciating contemporary art.
So if you are an art lover, you are in luck, because from September 27 to October 4 will be held the 12th Open Valencia. This is a festival where various contemporary art galleries of the Community, open their doors for free.
In addition, throughout the days there will be guided tours of different galleries. This is ideal for those people who sometimes find contemporary art difficult, but want to learn and understand a little more about what our artists are doing today.
