The Tenerife Island Centre of Photography was created on 30 November 1989 by the Island Council of Tenerife, in order to “promote aspects of artistic creation with enormous potential for contemporary expression, and to rescue and preserve our own heritage of images, which still remains dispersed and lacks sufficient preservation”.
