The objective of the INNOVA art space is to present a different non-commercial art alternative in Punta del Este, one that is creative and avant-garde, and whose artists show commitment to their work. We include all disciplines: painting, drawing, video art, installations, digital art, performances and sculpture. disciplinas: pintura, dibujo, video arte, instalaciones, arte digital, performances y escultura.

INNOVA is a non-profit museological space, so the works are not for sale. Our mission is to exhibit works by Uruguayan artists and other nationalities to collaborate in the dissemination of their art.

Our exhibitions are accompanied by an inclusive educational program that aims to reach all types of audiences. To promote inclusion, at INNOVA we offer visual reading courses applying the VTS (Visual Thinking Strategies) method created in the United States by Philip Yenawine and Abigail Housen. Every season we schedule school visits and receive students from school 104.

The space works only in the summer season.

In 2010 Espacio INNOVA was declared of departmental interest for its cultural activities.
