The 11th edition of the Dcoop Plastic Arts Competition showcases a selection of winning and finalist works including painting, sculpture, and etching. This annual event, hosted this year at the Ateneo de Málaga, highlights the intersection of the agri-food sector with the world of contemporary fine arts.
The XI Dcoop Plastic Arts Competition 2025 presents a curated selection of works from over 600 entries, reflecting the creative output of artists across Spain. The exhibition features a diverse range of artistic disciplines, including 10 paintings, 7 sculptures, and 7 etchings, each selected by a jury for their technical quality and thematic depth. By rotating its annual exhibition through different territories, Dcoop aims to bridge the gap between the agricultural sector and cultural life. Hosted at the historic Ateneo de Málaga, this exhibition holds special significance as it occupies a space once frequented by Pablo Picasso during his youth. The showcase not only highlights the award-winning pieces but also serves as a platform for emerging talent to gain recognition alongside established figures. Through this collaboration, Dcoop continues its tradition of supporting artistic expression and public engagement with the visual arts.
The exhibition is held in the Sala Pérez Estrada at the Ateneo de Málaga. Admission details are managed through the institution's standard policies; visitors are encouraged to contact the Ateneo for specific access information or membership inquiries.
