The Edificio Papelera to house the Kunsthal advanced design studies centre

Bilbao City Hall and the Kunsthal advanced design studies centre, located in the town of Irún in the neighbouring Guipuzcoa have signed an agreement whereby the City Hall  assigns the EdificioPapelera (the former paper mill building) as the venue of the new centre the Kunsthal is going to install in Bilbao.

Kunsthal, founded in 1998, is an entity devoted to training new professionals in the specialisms of Advertising Graphics (graphic design), Projects and Works Management (interior design) and Garden Design and Landscaping. It is the only private centre in Euskadi offering advanced studies in these specialist fields.

Its teaching faculty includes professionals related to different fields of art and design (architects, historians, archaeologists, designers, publicists, artists…).

In September 2019, the EdificioPapelera will open its doors as an advanced design studies centre after conclusion of the refurbishment works to be undertaken by the City Hall in conjunction with experts and professionals from Kunsthal, the budget for which lies in the region of half a million euros.
