Centro de Arte Tomás y Valiente

Centro de Arte Tomás y Valiente is a modern building in Fuenlabrada housing exhibition spaces and a theater within the same venue. The structure combines gallery areas for rotating shows with a performance space, creating a dual-purpose cultural facility.

The center was created in the late 1980s as Fuenlabrada expanded and the suburbs south of Madrid needed cultural spaces. It was established to bring contemporary art to a rapidly growing population seeking cultural activities.

The name honors a local artist who shaped the visual arts community in the region, and you can sense this legacy through how the spaces are organized around contemporary work. The exhibitions rotate regularly, drawing visitors interested in painting, photography, and installations from across Spain and beyond.

The center sits near La Serna train station, making it accessible by public transportation from central Madrid. Check opening hours ahead of your visit, as they can shift seasonally depending on programming and events.

Part of each year features a ceramics exhibition by the Amapol Association, where local artists explore pottery and sculpture in contemporary ways. This recurring tradition gives the center's schedule a local anchor that visitors learn to anticipate.
