Pluto presents Miss Espacial 24: Showcasing the next generation of artists in Valencia
This Saturday, 7th December, Pluto brings us Miss Espacial 24, an event showcasing the work of nine artists who have been part of its Espacial Scholarship programme this year. Over the past months, these creators have developed their projects and research at Pluto, and now they’re ready to share the results in an exhibition that uniquely blends art, music, and immersive experiences in Valencia.
During Miss Espacial 24, you’ll have the chance to discover the works developed by the scholarship recipients, enjoy live music, and immerse yourself in an environment where the boundaries between the digital and the organic fade away. At 4 pm, a round table will bring together the residents and more established professionals, who will candidly share their experiences in Valencia, the challenges they face, and their personal stories.
Espacial Scholarship
The Espacial Scholarship is an initiative by Pluto, supported by Carhartt WIP, designed to empower emerging artists. It provides resources, support, and a dedicated space for them to develop their work, helping to propel their careers forward.
With this initiative, Pluto becomes a home for creators based in Valencia, strengthening the local art scene and helping to retain talent in the city. It promotes interdisciplinary experimentation, supports artistic growth, and gives visibility to new creative voices.
To highlight the value of the huerta as a cultural space, the artists will present the results of their residency at Miss Espacial 24 this Saturday, 7th December. This annual event has become a must-attend for those passionate about Valencia’s vibrant and emerging art scene.
The 2024 Espacial generation includes:
• Alejandro Vázquez
• Charlie Smits
• Javier Camps
• Joar Remolar
• La Jeta
• Manel Bafaluy
• Pedro Bella
• Sandra Mar
• Sesame Beckmann
Musical performances will feature Sang Freda, Niebvla, Eddgem, Marco Ferreira, Ariezzz, Blan.trs, Yx3, and Kae Oria, a carefully curated line-up that will guide the audience on a magical journey through the works on display. As the evening progresses, the space will gradually transform into a vibrant, living organism, coming to life as night falls.
The event has limited capacity. To secure your spot, 50 early invitations are available for a contribution of €5. These can be collected at the Carhartt WIP store in Valencia (Martínez Ferrando, 3), with a limit of one invitation per person. Part of the contributions will go towards helping rebuild areas affected by the recent DANA floods.

fdecarlo@carhartt-wip.comAbout Carhartt Work In Progress
Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) is a clothing brand that adapts and modifies the core products of the pioneering American workwear brand Carhartt to create its own collections. Established in 1994 by Edwin Faeh, the brand’s audience is just as likely to associate its iconic yellow C motif with late 90s hip hop videos or skate clips, as they are with factories or manual labor. This distinction is key in defining what Carhartt WIP does. Carhartt WIP engages with different cultural spheres: from Detroit and Berlin’s symbiotic techno scenes, to skateboarding and its communities that span Paris, New York, and Seoul, to the contemporary art world. The brand channels these influences, representing the culture which has formed around it. This can be seen and felt in its collections, its imagery, and its choice of partners and collaborators. Today, Carhartt WIP operates over 100 brick and mortar retail stores across Europe, Asia, and the US, as well as working with select wholesale clients.
