“The goal is to propose a very broad range of activities and to ease public access,” explained the executive director of the Centro Arte Alameda, Roser Fort
More than fifty institutions and cultural centers located around Santiago's main avenue agreed on Tuesday to expand their cooperation and coordinate their programming to turn that historic thoroughfare into a cultural hub, similar to those in other capitals such as Buenos Aires or Madrid. Museums, theaters, libraries, cinemas and universities created the Red Alameda Cultural, a platform on which they will publish all their activities to enliven the corridor and offer citizens a complete cultural experience.
“In a world and a city so fragmented and individualistic, this space of convergence and cooperation is good news,” the regional governor of Santiago, Claudio Orrego, said at the launch, noting that the initiative gathers the cultural offerings of the entire Alameda onto a single platform. The network brings together 52 institutions, among them the Gabriela Mistral Cultural Center (GAM), the La Moneda Cultural Center, the National Cinematheque, the Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art, the National Museum of Fine Arts, the Violeta Parra Museum and the Chilean National Theater.
