The exhibition space will cover over 2,000 square metres, and it will preserve the architectural and historic values of this singular building, adapting this space to a new cultural, versatile, modern and sustainable use.

Permanent venue in Santander
The ENAIRE Collection of Contemporary Art will be split between its venue in Madrid and the Naves de Gamazo warehouses in Santander.
There are currently two tenders in progress, the one in Madrid, published today, and the one in Santander, published on 17 January. The latter has a budget of 209,845 euros.
The aim of this other project is to breathe new life into the Naves de Gamazo warehouses, located in the port, by turning them into an Art Centre -though maintaining their industrial character and open space- and making them the future, permanent home of the ENAIRE Collection of Contemporary Art.
