The event will feature around forty activities that reflect the cultural and artistic diversity of the city. Until May 30, the Julio Mario Santo Domingo Library will be the setting for these expressions.
The impossibility of meetings has made movie theaters, theaters, art galleries, recording studios, bookstores, stages, among other spaces, empty for a while. However, artists have not stopped creating. In this context, the Local Arts Fairs emerged, a bet by Idartes in Bogotá.
It is an event that aims to generate dynamics that support local and community artistic projects that allow, from the development of their practices and the exchange of knowledge, to articulate new ways to strengthen the social fabric. Within the framework of this initiative, and until May 30, the Julio Mario Santo Domingo Library will be the setting for the Local Arts Fairs in Suba.
