Visual arts
Within the framework of the 14th meeting of writers and book fair, an exhibition of works by artists from the Calamuchita Valley was held, which was open to the public throughout the weekend.
“With the intention of resuming the “Cultural Corridor” initiated between 2021 and 2022 between the central-western region of the Calamuchita Department and the southern region of the Río Cuarto Department, 38 Plastic Artists from 11 localities of the Calamuchita Department were invited to join this Exhibition,” indicated the Commune of Los Reartes.
The town of Los Reartes is the headquarters of this cultural project, since it was declared of Cultural Interest, through the signing of communal resolution No. 2316 in 2021.
“The aim is to continue the exchange between both regions over the next few months, with the aim of laying the foundations for the Cultural Corridor,” the Commune reported.
