Promoting Arts

At Fundación Occident we are committed to promoting art, especially new artistic talent in poetry and music.

One of our objectives is to support and promote creation, and poetic creativity among all age groups, from small children to adults, with an exceptional talent for this genre, both in Spanish or Catalan. Our collaboration with the Jesús Serra Poetry Competition, and also our Poetízate programme, are two examples of actions we carry out with to place value on the role of poetry as a vehicle for explaining the world we live in.

In addition to poetry, the Foundation also supports young new musical talent. Our concerns are focused on disseminating the practice of music, specifically the piano. We collaborate with the Maria Canals International Music Competition, and we also fill the streets of the main cities of Spain with music with the "Your city is filled with pianos" project.

Neither can we never forget our duty to young children. Thanks to our "Me Toca" programme and artistic promotion actions, we bring music to the youngest members of the public, as well as those in a situation of social vulnerability.
