The Badalona City Council, through the Department for Senior Citizens, is launching the 4th edition of the Painting Masterclass, a free activity led by master painter Pedro Baos Castellanos.

The initiative, aimed at the city's senior population, will take place in the Cellar Room of the Masia de Can Canyadó, located at Pompeu Fabra s/n street. Sessions will run between October 2026 and June 2027, on the first Friday of each month, from 10 AM to 1 PM.
The inaugural session is scheduled for Friday, October 2, 2026, at 10 AM. This well-established activity aims to introduce painting techniques, foster creativity, and promote personal development in a convivial atmosphere.
No prior painting experience is required. The activity is open to all senior citizens of Badalona interested in art. Places are limited, and interested individuals can register by calling the Department for Senior Citizens at 93 483 29 71 or by emailing [gentgran@badalona.cat](mailto:gentgran@badalona.cat) with their name, surnames, and phone number.

"Learning to paint is a great tool for developing creativity and personal expression. Each person builds through painting, even if they don't realize it, and discovers new ways to communicate emotions, experiences, and sensitivities."
