Price notes
No published price list. Xamfrà sets the contribution to what each family can afford — in its own words, "a Xamfrà paga qui pot i aporta el que pot" — and states that "cap infant o jove ha de deixar de fer tallers a Xamfrà per raons econòmiques" (no child or young person has to give up workshops for financial reasons). The amount is agreed case by case in person when you complete matriculation, and each participant is told what percentage of the real cost they contribute. Taking more than one workshop does not raise the quota. This is an adapted fee rather than an automatic free place, so ask at the center what your contribution would be.

What you need to know
From age 8 kids build their own pathway, mixing ensembles, an instrument, dance or theater rather than signing up for a single class — and they perform, on real stages, with the rest of the center.
About
A social music and performing arts center in the Raval, run since 2004 by the Fundació L'ARC Música, where kids and teens join choirs, orchestras, bands, percussion groups, dance and theater. It is a social-inclusion project first: fees are adapted to what each family can afford, and priority goes to children who have no other route into the arts, including those referred by social services, neighborhood schools and local organizations.

Enrollment opens: Preinscription for 2026-27 is open now. Filling in the form does not secure a place: in September you get an email with the afternoon to come to the center and complete enrollment in person, and enrollment stays open through the year while places remain.
