Dissemination of Culture in Puerto Vallarta Turned Out to be Very Successful

Puerto Vallarta, Jal. - The fast pace cultural and artistic development, as well as the supply and demand of good performance and entertainment, has been a challenge for the Municipal authorities presided by Ramon Guerrero Martinez; but this challenge far exceeded all expectations thanks to the Vallarta’s Cultural Institute (IVC).

Last year was a year of hard work and innovations. One of our greatest achievement was the XVII Theater Summit, which for the first time, was held in Puerto Vallarta. Ten plays from six different municipalities were presented at the Caules Cultural Center which for the rest of the year was the venue for shows and plays performed by local companies and also companies from other regions. It was also the stage for auteur cinema, through “Cinito cine debate” program. They held a meeting every Tuesday, followed by a debate among the spectators and the analysts. It all ended with a theatre workshop.

The first International Festival of Celtic Music was held on March 2014. A historic event that made of the jetty an appendix of the Celtic world, with bagpipe music from Galicia, Ireland, England, Canada, United States and, of course, Mexico. The Festival was materialized thanks to the IVC mediation, headed by Sergio Zepeda, as well as the Ireland diplomatic delegation, United Kingdom and the Spanish Cultural Council. It was such a big success, that it will be done again this year starting on March 6. It is being consolidated as an International annual event; one of a kind in Mexico.

To finish the year, Puerto Vallarta sky was illuminated during the Firework International Festival, in this occasion, France was our guest of honor. Fire work professionals came together to amuse the tourist who were visiting the city in the month of December. Famous artists of the kind of Lila Downs, Cuca, Azul Violeta and the Sonora Dinamita, were also part of this event. Due to the success of this festival, the grown work has already started for the second edition of the festival; in this way Puerto Vallarta will be the mandatory destination for the best firework technicians of the world.

We worked very hard during the last twelve months in the “Talleres itinerants”; an initiative of the Meyer Ramon Guerrero Martinez, so that a group of artist go around giving drawing and painting classes, free of charge, in public places.

Vallarta’s Cultural Institute organized conferences and expositions. It participated in “Conciertos Extraordinarios” that accompany the International Music and Mathematics Congress. It also consolidated with Cuale Cultural Center workshops on recording, Latin-American music, piano, drums, sculpture, guitar, painting and photography.

1214 will be remembered as the year when culture was an elemental priority for Puerto Vallarta’s human growth and development, and the foundation was laid for artistic development sustained by the commitment of the municipal authorities through Vallarta’s Cultural Institute.
