Culture is a bond between generations, a vehicle for transmission and fulfilment.
The Patiño Foundation supports cultural diversity in Bolivia through exhibitions, concerts, conferences and educational activities.
By preserving the historical heritage and encouraging creativity, we offer access to art in all its forms and contribute to asserting a strong cultural identity.
The Patiño Foundation promotes access to culture in Bolivia through a variety of initiatives designed to enrich the country's heritage and stimulate creativity. From the enhancement of historical sites to the promotion of contemporary arts, our aim is to make culture a lever for education and development.
The Foundation's emblematic venues, such as the Palacio Portales and the Villa Albina, are cultural centres for the dissemination and transmission of Bolivian history.
By opening them to the public, we invite everyone to discover an exceptional heritage and to immerse themselves in the history of Simón I. Patiño and his era.
The Foundation holds concerts, exhibitions and conferences throughout the year. The International Music Festival, organised in partnership with the International Menuhin Music Academy, provides exposure for young talents, and helps to fund cultural initiatives in Bolivia.
Since 2021, the Foundation has consolidated its cultural and educational activities under a single pillar. This commitment aims to promote reading, encourage creativity and foster a multidisciplinary approach to culture.
