As part of  CBAT's charter, we look to develop links with like-minded local and international arts organisations, foundations, institutions, and funders.  As such we are pleased to work with a number of partner organizations in the UK and Latin America.  Below is a summary of collaboration projects we have undertaken.

CBAT's partnership with Gasworks started in 2019 with CBAT's first sponsorship of an up-and-coming Bolivian artist (Andrés Bedoya) for a three month residency with Gasworks.

Gasworks is a prestigious contemporary visual art organization that provides studios for London-based artists; commissions emerging UK-based and international artists to present their first major exhibitions in the UK;  and develops a highly-respected international residencies programme, offering international artists the opportunity to research and develop new work in London.

CBAT creates opportunities for connecting Bolivian artists with the SDCLEAR’s research initiatives in contemporary art and heritage research relating to their collection.

It supports cultural heritage initiatives that are developed in Latin America and aims to create a network of communities that are interested in the heritage and material culture of the region.

CBAT, in partnership with Fundación Patiño, presented a series of photo exhibitions from the 2022 Photo Contest ‘Naturaleza, Sociedad y Clima’ through the Foundation public galleries in Santa Cruz, Cochabamba, and La Paz during late 2022 and 2023.

In cultural matters, the Patiño Foundation develops high-quality programs (exhibitions, museums, concerts, conferences) with a pedagogical dimension and a national scope.  One of their means to promote Bolivian culture is its Art and Photography Exhibitions held in the Foundation facilities in Santa Cruz, Cochabamba, and La Paz.
