There are three exhibitions that can be visited and are made up of works by Emmanuel Cusnaider, Charlie O'Malley and the 1st National Ex Libris Competition "Biblioteca El Libertador".

This is the exhibition "Transmutation" by Emmanuel Cusnaider. In this journey, the artist unpacks his past to reemerge with a new, challenging and creative identity. Consisting of three series: "Being," "Shadows Revealed," and "Composting," it invites us to undertake a profound and reflective change. It will be on display in the Central Gallery.

The Palomar Room, for its part, hosts the works by Charlie O'Malley that make up "The Winemakers." According to the artist, his work attempts to freeze the human gesture, which is typically fleeting, evasive, deceptive, and elusive. After all, the human face is the greatest mask of all.

The Resurgir Room displays the pieces included in the 1st National Bookplate Competition "El Libertador Library." This competition is organized by the Francisco Humberto Tolosa Higher Institute for Teacher and Technical Training No. 9-006 in Rivadavia and was declared of Interest by the Mendoza Provincial Legislature. It is also the first national bookplate competition organized in the province.
