Starting this week, the old part of the municipality will begin to fill with the facilities that local associations and entities have prepared to brighten the day of anyone who walks its streets.

Participants

This year, with the participation of entities, the Departments of Culture and the Old Town have tried to encourage local participation in this artistic proposal. A total of 6 associations participate, to which the streets have been assigned by lottery and on July 28 an act will be held to publicize the jury's decision:

  • The Comissió de les Festes 2022 will decorate La Font street
  • The Xaranga la Xarlota Cultural Musician Association will take charge of San Roc Street
  • The Alicante Association for the Fight against Cancer is responsible for Calle La Ermita
  • The Belgian Friendship Association of Levante will be in charge of decorating García Ortiz street

  • The Red Cloud Cultural and Personal Growth Association will be in charge of Cervantes Street.

The Gargasindi Special Education College, the Maite Boronat Occupational Center, the Silene d'Ifac Nursery School and the Civic Center for the Elderly have also participated out of competition.

In addition, the streets Justicia, Puríssima, Major and Pescadors, as well as six municipal buildings, will display on their balconies the canvases made by a total of 49 local painters who, under the slogan "Joy", have reflected their particular vision and technique.

On the other hand, in the Plaza Miguel Roselló the members of the Photo Club Ifach will exhibit 18 large-scale photographs on triangular structures. The selected photographs are works of great artistic quality made by members of the landscape and natural motifs club.

This is the sixth edition of Art al Carrer, an initiative that aims to revitalize the Old Town of Calp and at the same time show the artistic possibilities of local authors. In this regard, the Councilor for Culture and the Old Town, Pilar Cabrera, has pointed out: “Art al Carrer means an opportunity for artistic expression for local people and groups that participate in painting, photography, plastic arts, and that contribute, in their contribution, to turning the historic center of Calp into a place more attractive for visiting residents and visitors. I feel especially happy with this year's participation and proud and grateful for the intense work carried out by the Culture and Dynamization areas”.
