William Liriano and Claudia Lizardo, Cultural Managers of the Sixth National Living Statues Festival, which is held each year during the month of August, announced that the invitation to participate in the sixth edition of the event started this month.

Artists and art groups interested in participating should register their proposals before June 30. It was also reported that, for the first time, there will be a junior category.

The purpose of this activity is to promote and increase the proper use of public spaces and to recognize the quality of the artistic work of the participants who present their proposals, and also CREATE the opportunity for the participants to express themselves freely, with respect, quality and commitment.

Strengthening human and social development through art is also the aim of its two components: The Workshop “Dilatación del Cuerpo Inteligente” (Intelligent Body Dilation) and “Festival de Estatuas Vivas” (Living Statues Festival).

The call is aimed at independent artists and art groups who have the capacity to submit proposals with artistic quality and aesthetics, and whose content also convey a clear message.

This year two categories will receive awards: “adult” and “children”. They will receive prizes ranging from 60 thousand to 15 thousand pesos, according to the criteria established in the rules of the competition.
