Collaboration with prestigious cultural institutions

Reading the Culture chapter of the 2018 Abertis Foundation Report will have given readers an idea of the types of collaboration in which the Foundation is involved both internationally and at home. Mentioning them all would make this Report extremely long. However, we would particularly like to mention some of them, which are representative of the different arts.

We support the annual invitation of the Friends of the El Prado Museum Foundation (Madrid) in the halls of the museum where the permanent collection is exhibited, where guest specialists give their conferences behind closed doors, in front of the works of art. In Barcelona, we collaborate with The Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA) Foundation to encourage activities to introduce and expand on knowledge of contemporary art and foster patronage (guided tours, family workshops, educational activities, etc.) and to organise a programme of conferences on patronage, collectionism and museum management. The National Theatre of Catalonia (TNC) also receives the support of Abertis for the programming of its 2018-2019 season. In terms of music, we are sponsors for the season of the Consortium of the Auditorium and the Barcelona and National Symphony Orchestra of Catalonia (OBC), as well as the Liceo Theatre that celebrated the 20th anniversary of its reopening in 2018.
