The work carried out by this department is characterised by an active management aimed at nurturing a wide, varied, intergenerational and interdisciplinary local cultural programme, where everyone's access to culture is a priority.

Taking advantage of the privileged framework offered by our surroundings, we can offer a programme both in theatres and in the street, for example with the Art i Carrer Festival held at the beginning of August, where the performing arts take the streets with top level companies. We also have a special programme for early childhood, Step by Step Culture.

This Department also has different cultural facilities that allow us to develop scenic and musical proposals such as the Teatre Auditori of La Vila Joiosa and the community centre auditorium, the open air Barbera dels Aragonés auditorium, and other facilities that host proposals of different nature, such as the Don Pedro la Barbera hall. We also have an exhibition agenda that takes place mostly in the Espai d'Art Contemporani la Barbera, a temporary exhibition centre that offers the most updated artistic manifestations.

We are part of the Valencian Culture Circuit, an inter-institutional project between the Valencian Institute of Culture and different town councils and Universities of the Valencian Community with stable, varied, professional and high quality scenic, musical and audiovisual programmes.

Another of the aspects that we develop is the promotion of local culture, through the support of the activity developed by the different cultural associations that the town has, the main characteristic of which is the promotion of the local cultural tradition. La Vila Joiosa has a long history of music developed by local entities, as well as traditional dances.

We invite you to be part of your (+) CULTURE.
