Barcelona Producció is a programme that aims to foster production in contemporary art practices. It promotes the participation of artists, curators, critics, researchers and other professionals focused on contemporary art and culture through an open competition and a selection of projects carried out by an independent jury.

With this initiative, La Capella provides support to meeting the financial and production needs of the artistic community of Barcelona and its area of influence in order to expose the general public to the discourses of art today. This involves establishing conditions for selection that allow the project authors to compete transparently and without intermediaries.

The selection process consists of two phases. In the first, the panel of judges makes a preliminary selection from the projects submitted. In the second, all shortlisted candidates are summoned to an interview in which they defend their project and answer questions posed by the panel members. The decision of which projects to select is made on the basis of these two phases.
