Legacy of Juncal Ballestín
Named after the committed feminist artist Juncal Ballestín (1953-2015), this grant honors her diverse artistic contributions, from painting to video art. In 2021, Artium Museoa received a donation of Ballestín’s work and archive, leading to the creation of this grant to commemorate her legacy.
