SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Jan. 17 (EUROPA PRESS) –
‘Merkarte Navidad’ organized by the Cabildo de Tenerife through the Youth area ended with the sale of 609 works for 12,002 euros among the nearly 2,000 people who attended this event with young art held at the Casa Lercaro in La Laguna, headquarters of the Museum of History and Anthropology of Tenerife, from December 9 to January 14.
The Minister of Education and Youth, Concepción Rivero, points out in a note that with ‘Merkarte’ the Cabildo intends not only to give young artists an opportunity to sell their work, but through this project the area makes a firm commitment to employability of young creators.
To this end, training and advice actions are carried out, with meetings and experiences with private companies, specifically with the tourism sector, so that they learn about the young talent that the island treasures and incorporate it as an added value and enriching experience that they offer to Your clients.
The island’s director of Education and Youth, Isabel Bello, recalls that ‘Merkarte Navidad’ had a marked charitable character thanks to the fact that the artists donated the sale of one of their works to those affected by the La Palma eruption.
‘Merkarte Navidad’ was closed with a training round table on the beginnings of professional careers and relations with art galleries.
This conference was led by Alejandro Tosco, President of the Círculo de Bellas Artes, who spoke with the young creators of Merkarte about his own experiences as an artist.
The 30 artists, under the age of 30, who participated in this edition are Pablo Falcón, Amalia Izquierdo, Rima Ciplyte, Álvaro Sonson, Pearl Lestrange, Mrs Bow, Marie de la Rue, Nonkommart, Pedro Perdomo, Ruth Janssen, Criswalros, Arthami Cruz , Samuel Martkh, Héctor V Nielsen, E.
