Things to Do in Bilbao Beyond the Guggenheim: Discover Art Toy Gama Near Bilbao

 

When people think of Bilbao, they usually think of the Guggenheim first.

That makes sense.

But art does not only happen inside the most famous building in town.

Sometimes it grows elsewhere: in reclaimed spaces, in working studios, in places shaped by patience rather than tourism.

Art Toy Gama is one of those places.

We are an artistic collective that has been working together since 2014, and since March 2024 we have been based in a new Studio-Gallery in Trapagaran, just outside Bilbao. The space is a restored former family carpentry workshop, now transformed into a living environment where ArT Toys, paintings, fine art prints, books, magazines, posters, and archives coexist with the daily rhythm of work.

This matters because a visit here is not only about seeing finished pieces. It is about understanding the world that produced them. How stories are built. How references are preserved. How visual culture becomes memory.

A while ago, we wrote about Nietzsche and Martin by James Jarvis, and one line keeps returning to us: “Become who you are.” In many ways, this Studio-Gallery is our attempt to do exactly that.
