Can Xalant
Centre for Creation and Contemporary Thought in Mataró

Can Xalant is the first Centre for the Creation of Visual Arts and Contemporary Thought to be set up within the framework of the region, and was born out of an agreement between Mataró Town Council and the Independent Body for Cultural Promotion of the Catalan Regional Government's Department of Culture.

The aim of the project is to establish the programmes necessary for research and production in the field of the visual arts. With this in mind, the Centre offers the artistic community, and all those involved in the world of culture who so request, the resources they need in order to develop their own projects, with particular focus being placed on up-and-coming artists with ties to the region and to its social context.
