Exhibitions, festivals, seminars…culture is one of the pillars of the Foundation, and an example of this are the collaborations and proposals that we have been involved in to support cultural activities and bring them closer to all types of audiences…
We remember some of the cultural highlights, which have been present in the Foundation’s daily work:
