< strong > MiCultura with new challenges for national leaders to explain at modART < / strong >

"There's a taste of a country here, but above all there's an industry that's growing tidingly and how good that these spaces have been to embrace the initiative to see it grow and to promote a platform for development," said Cultural Minister Giselle González Villarrué.

The statements by the incumbent of Culture were made during the event of the opening of the space awarded to the First Collection Local Designers at MODART and that forms part of the MiCultura initiatives through the national direction of Creative Economics, where the assistants could appreciate from dresses, jewelry, accessories and paintings, among other creations that were to the pleasure of the assistants.

In the presence of Fernando Barrero, president of MODART, with whom an agreement of cooperation was signed, González Villarrué emphasized that the institution through the Creative and Cultural Economy promotes the growth and development of fashion and in the future also support them with the export of their creativity.

He argued that for MiCultura it's a very special and important moment because with every Panamanian designer and artist we "offer him a space for his art to be exhibited" and at the same time announced that the Ministry has a fund called Crea Panama that is a seed capital that is offered to the cultural and creative industries that was founded two years ago and that by 2024 will support new entrepreneurs.

MODART has space of about 800 m2 distributed across 4 levels and plans to have 30 brands in an atmosphere that will serve to create different experiences as parades and pitchings and that will make it easier for national designers and creators to display their products.

The incumbent of Culture, González Villarrué and Fernando Barrero signed an agreement aimed at promoting co-operation between MiCultura and Mod Art to promote the development of the project "MODART Espacio de Moda Panama."

That space will give local designers an opportunity to market their brands with other Panamanian artists at an affordable cost giving customers an opportunity to buy in a luxury, central and strategic environment.
