La Escocesa is a multidisciplinary artistic production centre focused on the visual arts and self-managed with a public vocation.

It is housed in a factory building dating from 1899, where 100 years later, in 1999, it was used for artist's workshops. At present it has 28 workspaces. The La Escocesa building is only one of the buildings in the space. It has two floors and a terrace of about 500m2, and a third intermediate floor of about 100m2 where the centre's offices are located. The decoration is always changing.

The exterior space is asphalt and spontaneous and changing vegetation, with a chimney of 30m in height. Most of the exterior walls building are full of graffiti that gives it an urban and eclectic style. It is a unique space that breathes creativity and dynamism.

An industrial and rough style full of charming corners, where the ruin is our own history. Throughout the premises you can appreciate the industrial history of Barcelona and its relationship with the contemporary world. There are resident artists with whom, after an agreement, you can collaborate.

The uniqueness of La Escocesa is that it is a working space so the schedules and sounds have to be very controlled; it's a continuous workspace that welcomes resident artists, who are part of the approval of each project that was carried out.
