Bert van Zetten, Marcel and Jutta Huisman founded Villa del Arte Galleries in Barcelona in 1999. Their combined commitment and passion for art, together with a unique approach and willingness to exhibit emerging along side established artists, has contributed to an ever-changing, exceptional contemporary collection of fine art, photography and sculpture.

​

VIlla del Arte represents over 30 national and international artists exhibited between three emblematic galleries in Barcelona and Amsterdam. Further to organizing solo and collective shows, Villa del Arte also collaborates with other cultural institutions and museums, and regularly participates at renowned international art fairs.
