SPACE // 


In this old factory, 
we want to reactivate the ‘production’ process, fuelled 
by artistic proposals that contribute to dynamisation, reflection and creative empowerment, promoting fusion and the creation of ‘community’.


A dedicated space for exhibitions, artist residencies, and the commissioning of new works across the visual and performing arts, open to experimentation and embracing the "error" as an inherent, vital part of the innovation process. The center nurtures emerging talent through structured mentoring and assisted creation, serving as a dynamic exhibition platform and a strategic crossroads for creators, artists, and cultural agents.

As a catalyst for the creative ecosystem, it forges essential links between artists, programmers, collectors, and public institutions, driving local, national, and international production through the collaborative network of Procur.arte and its partners. It acts as an enabler of intercultural dynamics, actively engaging with diverse local communities and blurring the lines between public and private spheres through targeted interventions in urban spaces.

Furthermore, the center provides a crucial forum for critical reflection on cultural production, focusing deeply on creative processes while driving vital discourse on sustainability, diversity, intercultural dialogue, and social, gender, and racial equity. It operates as an extra-curricular hub for non-formal training—hosting workshops, masterclasses, and exchange activities for art students, creators, and thinkers—while standing as a leading nexus for debate at the intersection of art and technology.




WE LINK ARTISTIC PRODUCTION TO THE CRITICAL CRISES SHAPING CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY:
THE INTERSECTION OF TECHNOLOGICAL DISRUPTION, ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, AND THE SOCIAL PRECARIOUSNESS AFFECTING IDENTITY AND GENDER DIVERSITY.
