"Elisava Gradshow 2026 - 65th anniversary"

The Elisava Gradshow brings together more than 500 Final Degree Projects from students of the Bachelor's Degree in Design and the Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Design Engineering, along with Master's and Postgraduate programs, exhibited between Elisava and the Colom Municipal Sports Center.

This celebration of final projects at Elisava unfolds as a collective narrative offering a wide variety of stories to explore and share with the city of Barcelona during a program of events and activities taking place from June 16 to 18. The exhibition features projects developed in collaboration with companies, NGOs, studios, research centers, cultural organizations, institutions, and Elisava Research, as well as independent personal projects.

On the occasion of Elisava's 65^th anniversary, this edition of the Gradshow acquires a special significance as it returns to the city center. The aim is to open the school to Barcelona, bringing design closer to its citizens and connecting directly with the vibrant context of La Rambla. By placing the exhibition in such a central location, Elisava seeks to share their students' work with a broader audience, reinforcing the dialogue between design, the city, and its people.
