Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporània, espazo cultural e sala de exposicións
The Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporania is an exhibition space and art center in El Carme, Valencia, displaying contemporary art forms. It regularly hosts rotating exhibitions featuring painting, sculpture, video art, and performance, along with workshops and events for visitors of all ages.
The building was a Carmelite convent from 1281 and was declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1983. In the 19th century it served as an art museum and school where artists like Joaquín Sorolla studied, before becoming a contemporary culture center in 2017.
The name refers to the Carmelite convent that once stood here. Today people use the space to experience contemporary art and participate in workshops, making it a living center where creative expression connects the neighborhood to current cultural movements.
The center is open Tuesday through Sunday with free admission for all visitors. It is easily reached by local bus lines or metro, and the facilities are accessible with ramps and clear signage for comfortable navigation throughout the space.
The center operates 'Espai de Telles', a dedicated space for children ages 0 to 3 to explore and learn through play. This offering makes it an uncommon art venue that introduces even the youngest visitors to contemporary culture.
