During the month of August, “art and sustainability”

Take part in art and sustainability with Idartes in August, a space for the circulation and commercialization of artistic ventures.

This week, the District Institute of the Arts (Idartes) and the Sustainable Ecosystem for the Arts have inaugurated the Art and Entrepreneurship Zones, a new space dedicated to creativity and art. According to the Mayor's Office of Bogotá, during August two additional spaces will be opened for the circulation and commercialization of artistic, cultural and research ventures. These new places aim to promote sustainable practices in the capital.

Furthermore, during the development of these activities, spaces will be enabled that will support the artistic growth of the participants. To this end, mobile stages will be implemented that will allow attendees to enjoy family activities, highlighting sustainable production processes. In addition, spaces and platforms will be available where artists and entrepreneurs can share and exhibit their products and works.

The program will include a sports activity to collect trash in San Luis Park, environmental activities such as a sowing bale and a waste collection point. In addition, there will be artistic activities such as the Madrugón de la Antiferia, a reading aloud of the story “Robot comes trash”, a discussion on Artistic Activism for Climate Change, and three activities in the Literary Cycle by the Idartes Literature Management. There will also be musical performances on the mobile stage with Asaltos Bailables, Agua Palabra Sonora, Flor de Cerezo and great DJs by DNA Music.

Participate in art and sustainability with Idartes in August. Get scheduled!
