As stated in the mission set out in its Strategic Plan, Artium is a museum and cultural center dedicated to collecting, producing, disseminating, investigate and pass on the art of our time. Our purpose is to raise the artistic culture and develop a critical awareness of society as well as project an image of Álava committed to art and culture.
We use all resources at our disposal: an extensive and valuable Permanent Collection, an ambitious program of exhibitions produced in-house or shared with other prestigious institutions, and an intense program of activities related to contemporary culture.
ARTIUM also has two valuable tools for this work: an educational project that aims to intervene in the habits and cultural and artistic knowledge of society and a documentation center on contemporary art and culture, reference of its kind in the international arena.
