The BilbaoArte Collection comprises over 600 pieces and covers all contemporary practices and disciplines. It closely reflects BilbaoArte’s mission as an art production centre. Since 1998, the artists in residence leave one or several pieces in the Collection at the end of their stay and training at BilbaoArte in return for the support received.
Overall, the BilbaoArte Collection reflects the contemporary art scene of recent years, and boasts an important selection of high-quality works by international, Spanish and Basque artists. This intrinsic nature of peer growth through its artist production is a unique feature as an expression of the art of the present.
Regular group exhibitions of the Collection are organised in a bid to showcase the artists in residence and to offer new readings and interpretations of the vision that the works and artists offer overall.
In April 2023, the BilbaoArte Collection was recognised by the Basque Government in the Register of Museums and Collections of the Basque Country. That authority has awarded two subsidies for the municipal project: one for the professional photographic recording, cataloguing and documenting of the collection, and the other for the first exhibition.
