About us
our mission
13 ESPACIOarte opened in February 2017, a project founded and managed by the visual artist Tonia Trujillo. 13 ESPACIOarte participates in an ever-widening network of hybrid and independent spaces dedicated to the exhibition, sale, dissemination and promotion of contemporary art.
We advocate for a critical society capable of questioning and dismantling the power strategies and control mechanisms that govern and manipulate our worldview. We defend the role of art as a builder of social consciousness, as a commitment and a tool for change, capable of opening us up to glimpses into other more desirable contexts.
We are convinced that art, as an artistic experience, should lead us to question, debate and acquire knowledge. That is why analysis, reflection and experimentation shape and define our line of work, in a broad panorama that includes all the disciplines in contemporary art.
We make visible women artists whose work analyses inequality and redefines reality from a gender perspective. We support artists who develop projects that address issues social justice, aimed at providing citizens with critical thinking tools, and which facilitate the understanding of complex social realities and the construction of value systems, all through multidisciplinary contemporary creation.
We want to serve as a meeting point for people who approach contemporary creation from different perspectives and backgrounds. To this end, our programming tends to bring together and enhance both specialized optics for art professionals, as well as grassroots culture that is produced in local associations and neighbourhood communities. We work in a network with all kinds of cultural agents, artistic and social collectives and institutions both local, national and international.
Our vision is implemented through an intense and above all, carefully curated cultural program, with artistic projects, exhibitions, meetings, festivals, conferences, workshops, presentation of books, discussion forums and all kinds of events. We are open to all ideas and innovative and creative proposals.

our space
13 ESPACIOarte is located in a fantastic industrial warehouse in the Polígono Hytasa (calle Lino, 12) in Seville, 10 minutes from the center of Seville (Prado de San Sebastián, Puerta de Jerez). It is ideal for holding any type of event: Classroom for conferences, workshops, master classes, courses, presentations, equipped with audiovisual equipment; exhibition hall, photo sessions and others.
13 ESPACIOarte rents its space and facilities. If you are looking for a different space with a unique personality, get in touch with us!
It has 400 m2, divided into different multipurpose spaces, for carrying out activities throughout the year. Originally, this polygon housed the old Andalusian Yarn and Fabric Factory as a whole, with a rationalist-style warehouse construction, finished in a brick factory and equipped with great natural lighting thanks to its large windows on both sides the ship. Come and know it!
