When Julio Pujales, a painter from A Coruña, died suddenly at the age of 58, his wife, Cristina Torre Cervigón, also from A Coruña, decided to create a Foundation to publicize his artistic legacy and disseminate his work. This is how the Torre Foundation was born. -Pujales, germ of the Corme Museum.

The Foundation was born with the intention not only of publicizing its work but also of awarding grants for creation and being a cultural epicenter for the entire Costa da Morte, creating a cultural meeting point that, starting from Corme and in collaboration with the entire Costa of Death, serves to improve the quality of tourism and project it culturally in the world.

More than 50 scholarship holders, renowned plastic artists and consolidated careers of different nationalities have already passed through Corme: France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Russia, Holland, the United States, Argentina, Brazil, etc. The artists awarded scholarships at the Corme studio become the best ambassadors of the Costa da Morte once they finish their residency scholarship and return to their countries of origin.

The Torre-Pujales Foundation is a foundational and non-profit entity, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, of national scope and of Galician cultural interest.
