The Solón Foundation works as both an office and a public gallery displaying the works of Walter Solón Romero. The exhibitions change regularly to highlight the extraordinary range of art that Solón produced from engravings to watercolours to woodwork and textiles.

The exhibitions are also linked to key themes in both Solón's work and the current work of the Foundation. Recent exhibitions have included works grouped under the titles: Human Rights, Flowers of Hope, The other face of history, Portrait of the People. All the exhibitions are an excellent way to understand Bolivia's history through art, from the perspective of those who have been exploited but also active in resisting and fighting for a just world.

In the longer-term, the plan is to convert the gallery into a "house-museum" which also features Solón's workshops (already open to the public), videos and audio-visual work by the Fundación, a library and information centre, and interactive exhibits that deepen knowledge and appreciation of Solón's work.

The gallery is generally open Monday to Friday from 10-12.30am and 3-7pm.
