Galpón Víctor Jara, Cultural center and music venue in Barrio Brasil, Santiago, Chile

Galpón Víctor Jara is a large warehouse-style building in Barrio Brasil serving as a concert hall and exhibition space. The venue hosts different types of live performances and artistic presentations within its industrial-style interior.

The Víctor Jara Foundation, based in Plaza Brasil, opened the warehouse as a cultural center on 28 September 2002, the 70th anniversary of Jara's birth, in a ceremony led by his widow Joan Jara. Earlier plans to convert the Estadio Chile, where Jara was held after the 1973 coup, met resistance from local authorities. A public funeral for Jara was held here in 2009 after his remains were exhumed.

The centre is named after Víctor Jara, the singer-songwriter, folklorist and activist killed by the Chilean army after the coup of 11 September 1973. It is a live venue for Chilean bands, especially the New Chilean Cumbia, gypsy and cueca styles, and Chico Trujillo, Banda Conmoción and La Mano Ajena have played there. Joan Jara, his widow and founder of the foundation, described it as a meeting place for Chilean, foreign and alternative artists who fit in nowhere else.

The Galpón stands on Huérfanos Street in Barrio Brasil, facing Plaza Brasil. It is a warehouse-type building reached on foot from the surrounding streets. Because the venue was closed in 2013 over missing building and commercial permits, check whether it is operating before planning a visit.

In 2009 the Galpón hosted a large public funeral for Víctor Jara: his remains had been exhumed during investigations into his death, and thousands of mourners gathered as the casket was carried through Santiago's streets before reburial in the General Cemetery.
