La Casa Encendida is much more than a cultural center. In addition to promoting artistic activities, it promotes the social integration of people with disabilities and many other educational initiatives.
To discover the projects in which the house is working, ACENTO will be organized, an open day as a festival that will last three days: from January 31 to February 2.
All the activities of the day will be free and suitable for all audiences. La Casa Encendida and Fundación Montemadrid have worked together to create workshops, meetings, music sessions, guided tours and more surprises.
