Traç Centre D’Expressio Plastica Traç offers adults the opportunity to enjoy art in a quiet and relaxed environment, ideal for developing creativity. They encourage a first-class broad artistic education, which takes into account the person and their context. The Traç courses are designed to inspire students to think, imagine, share, communicate and enjoy the different creative possibilities of art. Traç courses and workshops include: visual arts, painting, sculpture, engraving, and restoration. Additionally, the school organizes conferences, guided tours and other art-related activities. Traç caters to professional artists and craftsmen as well as enthusiasts. It aims to boost creativity, to nurture interaction between artists and, at the same time, to make it accessible for everyone to work and experiment with different visual arts languages. The instructors monitor the progress of the students individually and adjust the instruction to the level of experience of each person. Students are also given the opportunity to show their work in Traç’s exhibition hall.   About Meagan BellovinMeagan arrived in Barcelona in 2019, having left behind a full life of family, friends, and career in Austin, Texas.
