La Fábrica de Arte Cubano (known locally as La Fábrica de Arte or F.A.C) is an art gallery and club in Havana, Cuba. [1] [2] [3] [4] The Fábrica's gallery and stage were established inside of a former cooking oil factory, and has since gained notoriety as one of Havana's premier nightclubs and art galas. [5] [6] Several news outlets have described the factory as a symbol of Cuba's accelerating opening to the world. [6] [7]
The structure housing La Fábrica de Arte was built in 1910 as a cooking oil factory. [8] [9] [10] In 2008 a group of Cuban artists and musicians began to look for a centralized location in which art could be shown, leading to the group acquiring the closed factory in 2010. The current location opened in February 2014. [6] It has been noted that the establishment attracts young Cubans and foreign nationals. [4] [11] [6]
