district and creative platform

During its short time of existence this platform allowed to create the necessary conditions for different areas to work together creating and promoting products and actions with strong local identity.

This was where writers, painters, musicians, sculptors, designers, agricultural producers, craftsmen, architects, plastic artists, photographers, landscape architects … with ideas or products came to. Some projects were designed and made known to a public that was always aware of what new was appearing.
