The Gallery for Rebel Artists and Political Art (THE GRAPA) is a contemporary art gallery that specializes in political art.

Founded in 2023, and headquartered in Valencia, Spain, we aim to raise the visibility and diversity of political art within the contemporary art world. The GRAPA works within a community of like-minded artists, curators, and creatives. The GRAPA brings together both established and emerging artists from around the world who use their art to explore universal challenges that confront and connect us all.

The gallery provides a unique space for political art lovers and collectors, to view and collect the work of artists from around the world in one place. Whether you´re a seasoned collector seeking to enrich your portfolio with purpose-driven art, or a newcomer eager to explore the dynamic intersection of creativity and social issues, we invite you to explore this unique collection dedicated to issue-based art.

The GRAPA was founded by Esther McIntosh. The gallery is an Associate Member of the Global Chapter of the Association on Women Art Dealers (AWAD).
