Sacred Pilgrimage: Gaudi and Galban

Creative Pinellas and AGalban are excited to present Sacred Pilgrimage: Gaudí and Galban, AGalban’s first ever traveling exhibition that brings together the architectural brilliance of Antoni Gaudí and the deeply personal vision of Cuban American artist AGalban.

This moving exhibition invites audiences on a journey that bridges continents, creativity, and the sacred. Inspired by a vivid, spiritual vision during a major heart episode, AGalban created an ambitious series of evocative paintings based on Gaudí’s Basilica de la Sagrada Familia, reimagining its iconic Passion façade through themes of faith, fragility, and transcendence. His deeply moving works (25 in all) are paired with photographs of Gaudí’s architectural masterpieces, offering visitors a unique and contemplative experience.

After its Tampa Bay launch this summer, Sacred Pilgrimage: Gaudí and Galban will travel to sacred spaces and community venues across Florida, concluding in June 2026 to mark the 100th anniversary of Gaudí’s passing and the completion of the Sagrada Familia’s 137-year construction.

Co-curated by Tarin Mohajeri and Antonio Permuy, this exhibition is supported by a grant from the Gobioff Foundation and the AIA Tampa Bay’s Center for Architecture and Design as an educational partner.
