NON PROFIT ART ORGANIZATIONS IN SPAIN - KOPENHAGEN.DK - 2001

These initiatives transmit a vitality and a freedom that are the vital driving force for the free, experimental development of the contemporary visual arts, which is in its turn essential to sustaining the platform on which the new creative talents operate.
