The Cabildo of Tenerife will hold the Merkarte Fair at the Youth House in Puerto de la Cruz at the end of October with the aim of promoting the work of 15 young artists.
The Minister of Youth and Training, Serafín Mesa, recently held a meeting with the Porto officials to finalize the details.

Mesa explains that “this type of event allows the creations of young artists to be disseminated, giving them visibility and promoting their work.”

Merkarte is an educational, artistic and social program organized by the Cabildo of Tenerife that will celebrate its twentieth anniversary in 2024 and whose objective is to make visible, promote and empower young creatives on the island, promoting their professionalization and their incorporation into the labor market.
