FUNDACION TEMAS DE ARTE

The “Fundación Temas de Arte” was created in 1998. The governing body is its Board, comprised of leading representatives of the professional fields of cultural and creative industries. Other members outside the Board are the Secretariat of the Foundation, Directorate of Communication and General Coordination of Projects. The organization has 3 staff employed in total, and several freelance contributors based on each of the projects undertaken. Since its inception, the “Fundación Temas de Arte” has launched several international meetings, conferences, workshops, prizes and scholarships as well as numerous international exhibitions and fairs to promote cultural diversity through the excellence of its creators. Although specializing in Plastic and Visual Arts, the Foundation has also promoted different artists in the fields of dance, performance, music and even gastronomy. Plastic and Visual Arts have always been the main fields where the Foundation has developed its activities, with the aim of making contemporary art accessible to all, and to strengthen cultural ties among creators between the two shores of the Mediterranean, especially understanding Spain and Morocco as two gateways in Europe and Africa respectively. The defense of the interpellation of cultures between the north and south as well as supporting and promoting women as drivers and supporting culture in Maghreb and the Sub-Saharan regions are key issues in the calendar of activities of the “Fundación Temas de Arte” for the coming years. Since 1998 “Fundación Temas de Arte” has worked together directly with leading public and private institutions such as Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Science and Technology, AECI, French National Library, Albertina - Museum Vienna, Museum Wilfredo Lam in Havana (Cuba), Secretary of Culture of the City of Buenos Aires, Ministry of Culture of Morocco, National Institute of Fine Arts in Tetouan, (Morocco), among others.
