Books decorate and make a house beautiful, but their main function is to be read. Paintings and paintings are already available to decorate a house, but anyone who has been interested in them will have quickly discovered how expensive an artist’s work can be.
With this in mind, the library in Palafrugell, in the Baix Empordà has launched the “EmocionART-se” project , a lending service for works of art that seeks to make the users of the library fall in love not only with books but also with art.
Thus, the library offers the possibility of borrowing a work of art for 30 days to enjoy it at home (and to extend the loan for another month, if we have particularly liked it). The painting can be chosen from a catalog of 150 works by local artists or with links to Palafrugell and that these days are exposed in the equipment.
The available works can also be consulted on the website of the Arteca fund, which for years has been promoting the loan service of works by artists such as Bruna Valls, Rodolfo Candelaria or Tano Pisano.
The only requirement to take a work home is the same as for any book loan in any library in Catalonia: to be of legal age and have the card of the public library system of Catalonia.
