Excellent venue for art events and performances. The staff are very coordinated and respectful.

Watched Dakhabraka here. Very good venue, good acoustics. The staff wasn't very helpful though. They just gave us the ticket and directed us a bit wrongly and we ended up in a bad seat despite showing up early.

I went there for a free piano concert. The building was huge and very well organized! Good acoustic and we'll on time! It worth the visit👍

I visited this place for the first time. It's a huge place that looks like a castle. There you can attend to different concerts or art activities for free. I attended a very high quality concert, which probably usually costs lots of money. The staff were very friendly as well I would love to follow their activities and visit this place again soon P.S. Activities are free, but it's better to register before the event. There's also an option to come 20 min before the start and if they have place they let you in

Great to visit during an exhibition or live performance. I saw a live performance of Lucas and The Woods here in 2018. I would not wonder far though as it is still part of the somewhat abandoned south side of the city. The area was reclaimed and is still in a long process of flipping.

We went to check out this place just out of curiosity and we ended up in a jazz concert for free! It was part of the Jazz festival of Buenos Aires and the concert had already begun but there were seats still available. So we could get in and enjoy the music!

20.08.2023: Amazing place, peaceful and the climate inside the building is great as it’s made out of solid clay bricks. Clean bathrooms, very friendly and helpful staff. Very child friendly.

This was a really nice building for the Tango festival. I just wished that it was more accessible by rapid transit. It seemed a bit out of the way to commute here, and with the heaps of people at the festival, it took a while to get an Uber or taxi out of here. I suggest walking out a block or two for a faster get-away. Other than this hiccup, it is a beautiful space.

I had wanted to visit La Usina since I first heard of the place, but the location was always the main deterrent. I enjoy mostly visiting such beautiful buildings at night and the idea of walking around this area at night wasn't really inspiring. I finally visited La Usina on a Sunday afternoon with a friend, and it looks really beautiful... But it's a bit underwhelming. We lined up for a photography exposition for a while, and the place was so crowded it really was difficult to appreciate the captions. Of course this was on a Sunday afternoon, so it was to be expected. I got the impression that the Usina, even when it's huge, doesn't really have a lot of stuff going on at all times (as it happens with the CCK). There was live music, which was nice, but just standing room to enjoy it. Luckily the band stopped playing right before it started drizzling. It's a really beautiful building, but the surrounding areas didn't make me feel safe enough to want to visit by myself. La Usina also didn't have any other fixed installations apart from wall art. I expected more. Still, it's really nice and, best of all, free.
