Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno
Since its inauguration in 1989 the Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno (CAAM) has become a major reference in the cultural and educational life of the islanders. Concealed behind a traditional façade, formerly belonging to a hotel, this centre is definitely worth visiting especially because of its spectacular interior design with white walls, marble stairs and acres of glass.
The CAAM organizes exhibitions, mainly of avant-garde art, and it has its own collection of works created by artists who had a substantial influence on the shaping of the 20th-century Canary art.
One other main objective of this Atlantic Modern Art Centre is to show the connection of Canary art with the Africa, the Americas and Europe, as the culture of the archipelago is largely determined by the influence of these three continents.
The CAAM also provides a venue for courses, lectures and seminars, allowing the visitors to study the exhibitions in depth and from different perspectives.
