Central America in the spotlight at the Reina Sofía Museum

Madrid, Feb 28 (Prensa Latina) Central America in the spotlight becomes from today the new project of the Reina Sofía Museum of Spain, which will give greater visibility to the countries of that region.

This is the Cáder Institute of Central American Art (ICAC), where the works and authors of El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Honduras and Nicaragua will have a larger space with this idea, which also delves into the stage, promotion and research.

The director of the Reina Sofía Museum of Madrid, Manuel Segade, highlighted in a press conference that it is a long-term commitment to Latin American art, with an emphasis on Central America.

The main promoter of the program is the Salvadoran cultural manager and art collector Mario Cáder-Frech, who donated one million dollars for a period of 10 years to undertake the work.

'Through this platform, we want to ensure that the voices of our artists are part of the great global dialogue of contemporary art. I invite you to build together a legacy that transcends borders,' said Cáder-Frech.

The institute will allocate resources to research grants, acquisition of works and bibliographical funds this year, with a budget of more than 85 thousand euros.

Pstricio Majano, a Salvadoran artist, will be the first resident for nine months.
