Of these, 42,145 participated in the 342 artistic, cultural and educational activities organized throughout the year, and 142,582 attended the exhibitions. Of the latter group, 36% were from Cantabria, 46% from other autonomous communities of Spain and 18% were international visitors, with French, British and Italian visitors accounting for the largest share.<\/li>\n<li>The number of <em>friends<\/em> of Centro Bot\u00edn exceeded 3,000 for the first time since 2019, and throughout the year, almost 5,000 Cantabrians obtained their permanent pass, making a total of 163,000 people in the region who now have free and unlimited access to the exhibitions, representing almost a third of the region&#8217;s inhabitants. According to the Director General of Fundaci\u00f3n Bot\u00edn, \u2018these two statistics are the best indicator of the Centre\u2019s success in fulfilling its mission to enrich the life of the region through the arts and develop the creativity of its inhabitants\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>Participants rated the activities 4.75 out of 5, the highest score since the Centre opened. Occupancy also reached a high of 91.1%. Music attracted the most attendees, followed by participatory creative activities and film screenings. The Santander International Film Festival also enjoyed a year of significant growth, with more viewers and more films in the competition than ever before.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Centro Bot\u00edn ended 2025 with a total of 184,727 visitors,<\/strong> <strong>4.5% more than the previous year, continuing its steady growth since 2020<\/strong> and playing a prominent role as a cultural hub and tourist attraction. <u>This increase is particularly reflected in exhibition activity, which recorded 142,582 visitors (+16.4%),<\/u> while 42,145 people participated in the 342 artistic, cultural and educational activities held throughout the year. Since its inauguration, Centro Bot\u00edn has welcomed 1,222,287 people, reflecting a consistent and stable evolution over time, and is now a project that is fully integrated into the city and highly valued both nationally and internationally. These and other figures will be released this afternoon at the International Tourism Fair (FITUR), at the Cantabria stand, by I\u00f1igo S\u00e1enz de Miera, Director General of Fundaci\u00f3n Bot\u00edn.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;In 2025, we achieved an occupancy rate of 91.1%, exceeding the previous year by over one percentage point, demonstrating that our efforts to improve the quality of our programming and diversify our cultural offering year after year are bearing fruit&#8217;, said S\u00e1enz de Miera, who also noted that maintaining an average satisfaction rating of 4.75 out of 5 in recent years should be considered a very positive indicator.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cantabrian passes issued have also increased by 3% to 162,820 citizens of Santander and Cantabria, who now have free and unlimited access to exhibitions (representing 27.4% of Cantabrians), with 4,781 passes issued in the last financial year (an average of 14 per day). <\/strong>The Friends of Centro Bot\u00edn passes are also on the rise, with 3.3% more cards issued, totalling 3,006 new subscriptions in 2025 (an average of 8 per day). &#8220;These indicators show how the Centre generates a real bond with society. Our mission is to awaken people&#8217;s creative capacity by facilitating access to the arts and using this potential to develop creativity and emotional intelligence&#8217;, explains S\u00e1enz de Miera. \u2019This social commitment, supported by the research we are conducting with Yale University, takes the form of artistic and educational programmes aimed at audiences of all ages.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><u>It is important to note that five new sponsors have joined the Centro Bot\u00edn project in 2025 (Plenitude, Cope, Colegio de M\u00e9dicos, Restaurante Nuevo Molino and Parte Autom\u00f3viles), bringing the total number of institutions and companies that share and support Fundaci\u00f3n Bot\u00edn art centre&#8217;s mission in Santander to 32.<\/u> The centre also has the support of the Mutua Madrile\u00f1a Foundation, the Prosegur Foundation, Cantur, Santander City Council, Fundaci\u00f3n EDP, Bridgestone, Vocento, El Diario Monta\u00f1\u00e9s, Unidad Editorial, El Pa\u00eds, Cadena SER, Spend In Magazine, Onda Cero, JCDecaux, Eurostars Hotels, Alsa, Iberia, Renfe, Viajes Mesana, IMEM, Caf\u00e9 Dromedario, Ur\u00eda Men\u00e9ndez, Derwent Group and Micampus.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>The number of visitors keeps rising <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Of the 184,727 visitors, 36% (51,439 people) are still inhabitants of Santander and Cantabria. <\/strong>The proportion of visitors from other parts of Spain, excluding Cantabria, has grown compared to 2024, representing 46% of the total.

International visitors also increased, accounting for 18%, a 7% increase compared to 2024, with 25,432 people who mainly come from France (6,401), the United Kingdom (3,827) and Italy (3,575).<\/p>\n<p><u>The building, its walkways, squares and outdoor spaces received 859,294 visits, meaning that for every visitor to the exhibitions and activities, another five enjoyed the venue and its surroundings.<\/u> August was once again the month with the highest attendance numbers at the exhibitions, with 27,881 visits (19.5% of the annual total), with the daily high recorded on 20 August, with 1,486 visitors.

Music has established itself as the most popular attraction, drawing 14,038 attendees, followed by interactive creative activities such as Christmas events, experimental workshops linked to exhibitions, and the creative process being developed in the Cooking Sections exhibition, which together attracted 8,352 people. These were followed by cinema-related events, which attracted 6,459 viewers, and the performing arts, with 3,088 attendees.<\/p>\n<p>Notable events included the closing party for the <em>Shimabuku<\/em> exhibition, attended by 478 people, and the Fanfare Ciocarlia concert, which gathered 1,546 people. Likewise, the participatory creative process developed around the Cooking Sections&#8217; exhibition <em>Las olas perdidas<\/em> (The Lost Waves) reinforced the public&#8217;s direct involvement in contemporary artistic creation.<\/p>\n<p>Organised by Morena Films and Centro Bot\u00edn, the ninth edition of the Santander Film Festival (FCS) was held from 12 to 18 September in various venues across the city of Santander. As the main venue, Centro Bot\u00edn hosted 11 film screenings, three sessions for schoolchildren, two discussions with filmmakers (Oliver Laxe and Rodrigo Sorogoyen), a meeting with Luis Tosar, three industry round tables, and nine Platino Next Gen workshops, featuring other prominent names such as Ic\u00edar Bolla\u00edn, Carlos Bardem, Mar\u00eda Zamora, Clara Roquet, and Nahuel P\u00e9rez Biscayart.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>An exhibition programme with international scope<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2025 was marked by a major exhibition programme, which began in April with the opening of <em>Maruja Mallo: Mask and Compass. Paintings and Drawings from 1924 to 1982<\/em>, co-produced with the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sof\u00eda. The largest retrospective of work by Mallo to date also included the first internationally distributed monographic publication dedicated to the artist, published in both Spanish and English. <strong>The exhibition, highly praised by critics, was considered one of the most interesting cultural events of the year, receiving extensive coverage in the national and international media.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Also worth noting is the <u>30th anniversary of <em>Itinerarios<\/em>, the annual exhibition showcasing the work of artists awarded art grants by Fundaci\u00f3n Bot\u00edn. To mark this milestone in 2025, more than 60 former scholarship recipients and jury members gathered in Santander to engage in an intergenerational dialogue<\/u>, which included the participation of Lara Almarcegui, Carlos Bunga, Joan Morey, Cabello \/ Carceller, Eli Corti\u00f1as, Leonor Serrano-Rivas, Javier Arce, Concha Garc\u00eda and Juan L\u00f3pez, Agust\u00edn P\u00e9rez Rubio and Laura Vall\u00e9s Vilchez, among others.<\/p>\n<p>In keeping with its mission to promote and support the artistic community, May saw the presentation of <em>Enredos II<\/em>, the second chapter of the exhibition programme through which Fundaci\u00f3n Bot\u00edn invites artists who have previously received one of its Art Grants to further collaborate with the Centre to develop new projects. On this occasion, Portuguese artist Nuno da Luz presented two new sound installations, produced by Fundaci\u00f3n Bot\u00edn, in which he explores sound as a tool for revealing and activating architecture from a perspective close to environmental art.<\/p>\n<p>A month later, in June, Centro Bot\u00edn inaugurated the permanent exhibition <em>Point and Counterpoint: 20th-Century Masters in the Jaime Bot\u00edn Collection<\/em>, which brought together seventeen works from his personal collection, entrusted to the Centre by his heirs. The exhibition features highly renowned Spanish and international artists such as Mar\u00eda Blanchard, Juan Gris, Manolo Millares, Joan Mir\u00f3, Joaqu\u00edn Sorolla, Antoni T\u00e0pies, Francis Bacon, Henri Matisse and Mark Rothko, and proposes a dialogue between styles and generations, from the avant-garde to post-war art. In October, the London-based collective Cooking Sections, formed by Daniel Fern\u00e1ndez Pascual and Alon Schwabe, inaugurated <em>Waves Lost at Sea<\/em>, their first exhibition in Spain, currently on display until 1 March and produced specifically for Centro Bot\u00edn. From a critical and contemporary perspective, the installation addresses the relationship between ecology and landscape, accompanied by various participatory actions that extend its impact beyond the exhibition spaces.<\/p>\n<p>In 2026, the exhibition program begins in March with <em>Entanglements <\/em>by Japanese artist Yuko Mohri, which transforms everyday objects and invisible forces into moving ecosystems. This will be followed by the first retrospective in Spain dedicated to the drawings of Marisol, offering a comprehensive view of the celebrated American artist\u2019s work on paper, accompanied by sculptures and archival materials. In October, the first exhibition in Spain by Brazilian artist Solange Pessoa will open, presenting a survey of her practice that combines sculpture, drawing, installation, and film, with an inventive use of organic and unconventional materials. The program concludes in November with the opening of <em>Itinerarios XXXI,<\/em> thus reinforcing the Bot\u00edn Foundation\u2019s support for national and international contemporary art.<\/p>\n<p>With regard to artistic training \u2013 and in line with Fundaci\u00f3n Bot\u00edn&#8217;s commitment to enriching the artistic fabric and to supporting the training of contemporary creators \u2013 at the beginning of the year,<u> applications will open for the 33rd Art Grants and the 20th Museum Management and Exhibition Curating Grants. Two Art Workshops are also planned, led by Yuko Mohri and Solange Pessoa, which will encourage collaboration and creative exchange among participants.<\/u><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Centro Bot\u00edn had 184,727 visitors in 2025, an increase of 4.5% from the previous year.
