WE WANT THE WORLD OF ART TO BE SUSTAINABLE, AUTHENTIC AND KIND. WITH THESE PRINCIPLES LEA WAS CREATED, AN EXPERIMENTAL LABORATORY IN MADRID WITH DIFFERENT ACTION PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CULTURAL SCENE. FOR THE ARTISTS WE CREATE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY CAN EXPAND ALL THEIR CREATIVE CAPABILITIES IN AN ARTISTIC COMMUNITY THAT MOTIVATES THEM TO EXPERIMENT, TO EMPATISE WITH OTHER LANGUAGES AND TO RE-EVALUATE THEIR LINES OF THINKING. THROUGH THE
VACANT PLACES IN THE LABORATORIES (LONG-TERM STAYS) AND THE
FULL-TIME RESIDENCES (A SHORTER AND INTENSE FORMAT FOR ARTISTS FROM OUTSIDE MADRID) ARTISTS CAN APPLY TO BE PART OF THE
LEA ARTISTS LIST, A GROUP WE ADVISE, PROVIDE WORK SPACE AND PROMOTE AMONG OUR NETWORK OF GALLERIES, MUSEUMS AND CULTURAL AGENTS. FOR COMPANIES AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC, WE CREATED OUR
PATRONAGE PROGRAM, A PARTICIPATORY AND SENSITIVE WAY TO SUPPORT NOT ONLY FINAL CREATION AND SUCCESS, BUT ALSO EXPERIMENTATION AND MISTAKE, ESSENTIAL FOR ARTISTIC GROWTH. THE
EXPERIMENTAL CURATORY PROGRAM (DEVELOPED TO NOURISH NEW APPROACHES FROM THE CURATORY FIELD) JOINS AN EXTENSIVE PROGRAM OF WORKSHOPS AND ACTIVITIES DESIGNED IN COLLABORATION WITH A GROWING COMMUNITY OF PROFESSIONALS WHO FIND IN LEA THE ENGINE FROM WHICH TO AMPLIFY THEIR PARTICULAR PERFORMANCES BY TIME THAT HELP THE GROWTH OF THE COLLECTIVE. THIS IS HOW OUR MISSION EXPANDS MUCH BEYOND
THE SPACE LOCATED IN THE SAN BLÁS-CANILLEJAS NEIGHBORHOOD OF MADRID, TO ACTIVATE MULTIPLE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCES THAT TURN CULTURE INTO AN USEFUL AND VALUABLE EXPERIENCE FOR SOCIETY.
