Santa Cruz is aiming to become the cultural capital of the Canary Islands on October 20th and October 21st when it stages the first edition of “Festival Expresarte”.
The two day event will fuse urban leisure and the arts and feature more than 500 participants over 20 hours of performances.
The programme will be developed in five areas of artistic expression around Santa Cruz, each known as a ZEA (Zonas de Expresion Artistica). These will be in the Plaza de la Candelaria, Plaza del Principe, ZEA Castillo, Irenaeus Square TEA González and ZEA Rambla.
“Expresarte” was founded with the goal of becoming the showcase for Canary artists who might not otherwise have a place to develop and express their art. It is seen as an exciting new opportunity for the local and regional cultural sector and will accommodate a large number of young artists from the archipelago.
There will be live performances every day in each of the zones covering all disciplines and including theatre, the performing arts, dance, music and urban art from noon to 10pm.
“It is a street festival which will invigorate the city,” said Mayor of Santa Cruz, José Manuel Bermúdez.
Organisers expected the capital to be busy for the event and therefore bring a welcome boost to businesses.
