North Gallery

The Espacio Norte Gallery emerged as part of the facilities of the Tecate University Extension Center in April 1988. The original idea arose from the renowned painter Mtro. Álvaro Blancarte together with the ceramist Salvador Magaña.
In that same year, the first collection shown was the work of the plastic artist Dr. Rubén Adame, which consisted of acrylic painting paintings in mixed media; From then on, various montages of painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, as well as various performances that have accompanied some exhibitions, have been presented.
The room has an area of ​​88 m² as well as 49.5 linear meters for exhibition. It exhibits works by both recognized artists in the cultural field and emerging ones, thus giving them the opportunity to make themselves known to the community.

The room hours are Monday to Friday from 09:00 a.m. to 13:00 p.m. and from 16:00 p.m. to 20:00 p.m. There is a guided tour service, aimed primarily at school groups.
