The Provincial Council aims to facilitate access for students from our counties to high-level, quality artistic education. With these studies, we seek to ensure comprehensive training and qualification of future professionals and to contribute to the promotion and dissemination of art.

Since its beginnings, the School has been a driving force for cultural activities and a meeting place for ideas and people in search of pedagogical innovation and the establishment of a platform for reflection and debate in the field of Visual Arts and Design.

SOME NOTES FN THE HISTORY OF THE CENTRE

  • 1978 The Escola Taller d’Art de la Diputació was founded in Reus on Carrer del Vent, 6, in October 1978, in a site that had once been an old convent of nuns. The main driving force behind the new centre was the Reus-born artist Ramon Ferran, who sought to contribute to the cultural enrichment of his immediate surroundings.

  • 1981 The School hosted the 1st Congress of Regional Art Schools in Catalonia.

  • 1983 The Interior Design studies were inaugurated, adding to those already being offered in Painting, Sculpture, Drawing, Printmaking Techniques, Art History, Photography, and Ceramics.

MetHODOLOGY

The School functions as a creative laboratory in constant evolution. The project-based workflow defines a methodology focused on problem-solving, where theory is inherently integrated into practice.

The primary objective is for the student to acquire operational autonomy and critical thinking skills 

As an uncompromisable value, the School maintains ongoing activity to establish its presence in its immediate environment, the city of Reus, while also positioning itself nationally to ensure the highest standards, quality, and competitiveness in its educational offerings and school model.
