Current project

Hernán Gamboa Gallery: Art, Culture & Community

The Hernán Gamboa Gallery is the Foundation's cultural project. It exists to look after the legacy of Venezuelan musician Hernán Gamboa and, at the same time, to give Latin American art a living space in our community.

From the gallery we can open exhibitions, cultural gatherings, educational activities and doors for emerging artists. It is not a decorative annexe: it operates under the Foundation and connects culture, memory and education in one place.

Two things are held together here. One is memory: the name and the work of a Venezuelan musician kept present rather than archived. The other is the present tense of Latin American art, which needs places to be shown as much as it needs people to make it.

What the gallery does

Exhibitions

Showing contemporary Latin American work to audiences in the Foundation's own community.

Cultural gatherings

Occasions for artists, audiences and the community to meet around the work rather than only look at it.

Educational activities

The point where the gallery meets the rest of the Foundation: art treated as something you learn from.

Doors for emerging artists

Space and visibility for artists who have the work but not yet the room to show it.

Who it is for

  • Latin American artists, especially those still emerging
  • Curators and cultural organisers
  • Audiences in the Foundation's community
  • Educators who work where art and learning meet
