The bid for Cáceres to become European Capital of Culture 2031 has announced the results of the first citizen evaluation on culture and capital status, an initiative that has gathered the opinions of 502 people and will serve to guide the development of the project during the second phase.

The Mata Castle Museum brought together the cultural sector to launch a new participatory process around the final project that could lead Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to become European Capital of Culture 2031. Initiatives and practitioner profiles can be submitted until 15 July through an online form available at www.lpgc2031.com

The Castillo de Mata Museum has embarked on a new chapter as a space for artistic creation, dialogue, and experimentation with REBEL WALLS. Urban Stories. This is a multidisciplinary artistic initiative, driven by Las Palmas de Gran candidacy to become the European Capital of Culture 2031 (LPGC’31), which opens the doors of one of the city’s historic spaces to urban art and places it at the center of the cultural program.

Cáceres 2031 presented this Wednesday the new Office of Cultural Activation and Citizen Participation (OAC), a space created to support, connect and promote the cultural fabric of the city and Extremadura within the project of candidacy for European Capital of Culture.

Last Saturday, the Castillo de Mata Museum was transformed into a space for open creation and contemporary dialogue with the opening of REBEL WALLS. Urban Stories, an exhibition project promoted by Las Palmas de Gran Canaria’s bid to become European Capital of Culture 2031, LPGC’31, which supports urban art as a legitimate and transformative cultural expression, capable of fostering a collective identity.
