First-hand experience with our artists and team

We’ve developed unique opportunities for young people to gain first-hand experience working with artists, as well as inviting professional creatives from across Spain to deliver workshops, performances and talks in response to our exhibitions.

In 2021, coinciding with his inaugural exhibition in Menorca, artist Mark Bradford led an art-education residency and worked with students from Escola d’Art de Menorca, resulting in the first Education Lab. Together, they created an impressive installation that shed light on the refugee crisis around the globe.

Following an open call to Spanish universities, in 2022 we launched an Education Lab developed through a postgraduate student residency in collaboration with Universidad de Navarra and Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Participants worked with the gallery community and local organizations to conceptualize a learning space that ran alongside Rashid Johnson’s exhibition ‘Sodade.’

The group exhibition ‘After the Mediterranean,’ curated by Oriol Fontdevila, emerged from an artist residency that took place in 2023. This opportunity was extended to artists beyond Hauser & Wirth’s roster to creatives working across the Mediterranean.

The exhibition featured the work of seven artists—Erola Arcalís, Adjoa Armah, Laia Estruch, artist collective Huniti Goldox (Areej Huniti and Eliza Goldox), Omar Mismar, Sara Ouhaddou and Abi Shehu—who worked in close collaboration with local artisans, suppliers, and researchers.

In 2022, artist Fito Conesa produced a site-specific performance inspired by Joan Miró’s outdoor work ‘Le Père Ubu,’ which was on view at Hauser & Wirth Menorca at the time, performed by a string trio from the Chamber Orchestra Illa de Menorca, in connection with the exhibition ‘Personae. Màscares contra la barbàrie’ at Es Baluard Museu.

In 2024, as part of the celebrations marking the centenary of Eduardo Chillida’s birth, we collaborated with Tabakalera to present a performance by Elena Aitzkoa and a movement workshop led by Nora Aurrekoetxea.

The 2025 Education Lab, developed by artist and researcher Irene Pascual (ESADIB), was conceived a site-specific, interactive installation responding to exhibitions by Mika Rottenberg and Cindy Sherman, inviting visitors into an immersive, audio-guided experience.

A collaboration with the Menorcan Institute of Studies led to the creation of an annual grant supporting artistic research and production on the island. Since its launch in 2022, the grant has enabled exhibitions such as ‘Sun Screen’ by Victor MasFerrer and Maite Basterra (2023), and ‘Pedrada’ by Maria José Ribas (2025).

A home for creative partnerships and community

To engage our local community, each exhibition is accompanied by a dynamic public program that includes workshops, guided tours, a book club, drawing sessions, and more. Our public program features regular Sunday concerts during spring and autumn, as well as family workshops on Saturdays, a film series during the summer months, among many more.

Every year, we welcome wide range of social groups—including the Foundation for People with Disabilities, the Menorca Prison, day care centers, the Red Cross, and youth centers across the island. Special thanks to Apropa Cultura for connecting these groups with cultural spaces.

As part of our collaboration with Trobades Albert Camus—an annual festival centered on the figure of Albert Camus—, we hosted a workshop with Deneb Martos, as well as a workshop and talk led by Spanish writer Jorge Carrión.
