The Terrassa City Council has presented an innovative format for the 2026 Festival poster, inviting citizens to actively participate in its creation. This initiative, led by urban artist Anna Taratiel, is based on a geometric composition using lilac, green, and orange colors on a pink background.

The starting point is a mural created by Taratiel in the Torre del Palau square. From there, a web application has been developed that will allow citizens to contribute by combining shapes and colors. Around fifty designs are expected to be selected for display on banners and posters throughout the city during the celebration, which will take place from July 3rd to 8th.

This approach replaces the previous method of awarding the design to students from the Municipal School of Art and Design. Mayor Jordi Ballart highlighted the desire "for the talent that is exported to also stay in Terrassa," commissioning the task to Anna Taratiel, internationally recognized for her murals.

The artist explained that the original design is inspired by emblematic elements of the city such as its streams, chimneys, or the Sant Pere bridge, seeking a color palette that is "impactful" and has "noise, vibrations".

Taratiel expressed gratitude for the trust placed in her to create a new image for the festival, which she considers part of the city's "memory." The goal is for the Festival to be "many things at once: movement, color, people, public space," and for citizens to "make it their own" through the poster as well.

The council emphasized that this initiative represents "diversity, transversality, and participation," key elements of the celebration. The process, which will be open for about 10 days, will transform the poster into an "open, dynamic, participatory space" and will generate "multiple images" that will evolve and remain vibrant.
