The social and cultural arm of Caixanova, the Galician savings bank formed on 17 July 2000 out of the Vigo municipal fund of 1880 and the provincial funds of Pontevedra and Ourense, of 1930 and 1933. Spending that Spanish law required of the cajas went into exhibition rooms, auditoriums and concert seasons across the three cities, touring orchestras included. Caixanova merged into NovaCaixaGalicia in December 2010 and the cultural work passed on.
