White Night MACA 2016

Alicante proposes year after year the White Night, with an attractive cultural offer. The initiative is jointly programmed by the city's museums and art centers. The proposal that emerges from several meetings between technicians from different museums is to celebrate the first edition of the White Night in Alicante, on July 22, 2015, with an attractive offer of activities. The purpose is to enjoy contemporary artistic creation through different activities and free cultural events, thus promoting citizen participation. In Spain, this initiative is developed in cities such as Madrid, Burgos, Málaga, Albacete and Barcelona, to which others have been added such as La Laguna, Badajoz, Teguise, Alcalá de Henares, Zaragoza, Nerja, Seville, Almería, Cáceres, Oviedo or Granada.With this purpose, Alicante proposes year after year the White Night, with an attractive cultural offer. The initiative is jointly programmed by the city's museums and art centers: MARQ Archaeological Museum, MACA Museum of Contemporary Art of Alicante, MUBAG Gravina Fine Arts Museum, MUA Museum of the University of Alicante, Las Cigarreras, Volvo Ocean Race Museum, Museum of Waters of Alicante, Exhibition Hall of the Fish Market, Juan Gil Albert Institute of Culture, and MUSA, Alicante City Museum. The project aims to bring together all types of public and private cultural initiatives, promote the participation of Alicante residents, individually or collectively, and suggests rediscovering the city with the opening of different spaces that are not usually accessible to the public at night.
