Inaugurated on October 20, 1982, the Tijuana Cultural Center (CECUT) is an institution that belongs to the Secretariat of Culture of the Mexican government and its goal is to produce and promote the cultural and artistic expressions of the Mexican Northwest region, as well as the dissemination of Mexico’s -and the world– artistic, cultural, and historical heritage. CECUT has fifteen exhibition spaces, including two permanent showrooms, among them there are outdoor spaces, lobbies, and El Cubo international gallery. Because of these conditions and its history, CECUT is one of the most important institutions in the region, has held several national and international projects, and has consolidated the career of numerous artists.
El Cubo
Inaugurated on September 27, 2008, El Cubo (called “The Cube” because its shape) has several exhibitions spaces, including three galleries –that together adds to 1,500-plus m²– that posses all the quality and safety standards for the exhibition preservation of the artwork. With 100-plus exhibitions under its belt, El Cubo is the right place to exhibit any kind of artwork.
