Hangar is a centre engaged in maintaining (generating, updating, reviewing and supporting) the necessary conditions to facilitate art research and production in the sense of critical forms of speculation and practices capable of addressing the urgent issues and debates currently facing society. For Hangar, art is a way of producing knowledge. In view of this, it defends art research as a research category in its own right, with its own way of finding and producing knowledge. Hangar seeks to support content creators at every stage of their art research and production processes by providing them with a whole host of tools and services (some of which are managed by Hangar and others by its resident collectives) to help them access the conceptual, contextual, semiotic, material and technical resources they need and provide a setting for experimenting and for the free transfer of knowledge. Hangar is a project of artistic governance managed by the Fundació Privada AAVC and mainly funded by the Regional Government of Catalonia and the Barcelona City Council.

The residency in Marseille, intended for an artist living in Catalonia, is supported and funded by Hangar with the support of the Institut Ramon Llull and the Cultural Service of the French Embassy / Institut Français of Spain. The residency in Barcelona, dedicated to an artist residing in Marseille and its metropolitan area, is supported and funded by Triangle-Astérides with the Cultural Service of the French Embassy / Institut Français of Spain.
