We present a great container of culture in Valencia, which will also be the venue for the VII APCP Awards.
The Centre del Carmen will be the venue for the 6th edition of the APCP Awards ceremony -as well as its respective after party-, and it’s a good opportunity to get to know it!
The Centre del Carmen is a great container of culture where you will see all kinds of exhibitions: from urban art to an opera recital. It even has a permanent room, ‘Espai de Telles’, which focuses on early childhood. Its exploration of the contemporary world through a wide variety of formats and languages has made the Centro del Carmen one of Valencia’s most highly rated cultural institutions.
Its architecture has a mixture of styles that form part of its essence and make it the best setting for the exhibitions, concerts and formations it hosts. The building, declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument in 1983, is in itself an architectural complex as varied as its cultural offerings. You can stroll through a Gothic cloister or a Renaissance cloister, which coexist with the remains of an Islamic dwelling. Its use as a cultural centre came in the 19th century, when it became the Museum of Fine Arts and the headquarters of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and the Schools of Fine Arts and Arts and Crafts. You will be pleased to know that the best Valencian artists of the 19th and 20th centuries passed through its classrooms. Artists of the stature of Joaquín Sorolla, Francisco Domingo, Ignacio Pinazo, Manuel Benedito and the Benlliure brothers.
The Centre del Carmen is located at Calle Museo No. 2, in the oldest and most bohemian neighbourhood of Valencia.
