La Balsa Arte

La Balsa Arte (previously known as Sociedad Cultural La Balsa) opened its doors in 2004 as an alternative non-profit organization, which promoted collective and individual exhibitions of nacional artists. After a brief closing, La Balsa Arte reopened its doors in 2014 in a new space in Torres del Parque in the neighborhood of La Macarena in Bogotá. Now, with two adjacent spaces, La Balsa, working under the premise of supporting artists that have a commitment to long-term and in-depth research, continues to work with Colombian artists and extends its reach to International artists, among which are Fabienne Hess (Switzerland), Radenko Milak (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Caroline Peña Bray (England). La Balsa Arte is committed to the idea of art as research and as an active form of learning. In this way, it creates and promotes projects and experiences that allow the artists to develop their ideas in-depth, as well as permitting them to clarify and expand their thoughts through their work.
