Since its opening in November 1998, in the former municipal schools on Urazurrutia street in Bilbao's Bilbao La Vieja neighborhood, BilbaoArte has established itself as a leading art production center, not only in Euskadi but also internationally. Supported by the Bilbao City Council, the Bizkaia Provincial Council, and the BBK Foundation, the center has become a talent incubator, investing in the training of new generations of artists and promoting art as a vital cultural and economic driver.
