Being a Friend of LABoral means being part of an active, engaged community and supporting innovation and young talent at the intersection of art, science and technology.
Being a Friend means experiencing LABoral up close, discovering each exhibition through the curatorial team, sharing spaces with resident artists, taking part in exclusive activities, and having a say in the centre’s life and its social mission. It means knowing what is happening at LABoral and in the cultural world, both day-to-day and in its future projects, and receiving the LABoral newsletter and invitations to openings and events.
Being a Friend means being an ambassador for the Art Centre and a champion of art, innovation and industrial creation, blending tradition and the future so that Asturias can have an extraordinary tomorrow.
