Visiting Usina del Arte
The blend of culture and architecture in Buenos Aires
Located in the iconic La Boca neighborhood, Usina del Arte is a central stop for those interested in culture and architecture.

Its Italian-style facade and vast interior spaces showcase a unique aesthetic that greets visitors the moment they arrive.
A diverse artistic program
Usina del Arte hosts an eclectic schedule that caters to many interests. You can attend classical music, jazz, or tango performances in a hall with exceptional acoustics. Temporary exhibitions highlight both local and international artists, providing a window into contemporary visual arts. Dance performances, lectures, and film screenings round out the programming.
An interactive space for the whole family
The site is not just for adults, as it offers interactive activities for children. On weekends, creative and playful workshops allow younger visitors to explore art in various forms. Families appreciate the welcoming atmosphere and the areas dedicated to relaxation, such as the large courtyard where it is pleasant to rest after a visit.
