CAF AND PINTA FOUNDATION ANNOUNCE ALLIANCE TO STRENGTHEN THE LATIN AMERICAN ART ECOSYSTEM
The collaboration between the two institutions will promote cultural platforms, professional exchanges, and spaces for dialogue aimed at advancing Latin American art and its international projection.
CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean – and Pinta Foundation have announced a strategic alliance aimed at strengthening the Latin American art ecosystem and fostering spaces for dialogue, professional exchange, and international visibility for artists, artisans, designers, and creators from Latin America and the Caribbean, serving as a platform for regional cultural recognition and integration. This initiative is part of the Regional Cultural Programming, Circulation, and Visibility Program, led by CAF’s General Secretariat and its Culture and Sports coordination.
As part of this collaboration, CAF will act as a strategic partner for several initiatives led by Pinta, including Pinta Panamá Art Week, whose second edition will take place from March 18 to 22 in Panama City. Over the course of five days, the event will bring together artists, curators, collectors, and cultural managers through a program of exhibitions, tours, talks, and cultural experiences across various venues in the city. The main exhibition will be held at Ciudad de las Artes.
