"

Cartagena, Thursday, September 21.

The Municipal Group of Citizens will propose in the next Ordinary Plenary to be transferred to the Local Council of Commerce a proposal for the study and subsequent elaboration of a joint project of recovery of the Historic District through the decoration of blinds and facades by local urban artists.

The spokesman for the orange formation in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, explained that his group has been observing how, in different municipalities like Malaga, Alicante Granada or Lorca, initiatives have been successfully carried out that allow local urban artists to develop their creativity and, at the same time, beautifying façades and blinds of commercial premises, "it is a question of channeling graffiti from the proliferation of indiscriminate graffiti that disturbs or attacks against our urban furniture towards the valorization of our city promoting its dimension of art urban."

In Lorca, for example, the so-called "Lorca Art Project" recently gathered a large group of artists who dedicated a day to convert the old town of that city into an urban art gallery.

In addition, neighbors and tourists were invited to participate in the experience through different panels, insoles and sprays placed in various areas of the center.

This initiative has as objectives, among other things, the contact and communication between urban youth artists, the local Administration and local merchants and owners of the Historical Center;

the promotion and development of positive attitudes towards the heritage and urban furniture of the city through the artistic medium and the promotion of the universal philosophy "creating a city among all", favoring the integration and diffusion of free-responsible urban art.

"We consider that this can be a very productive activity, which contributes to give a more contemporary nuance to Cartagena using graffiti as a claim, and at the same time, to make known to our young local artists," said the spokesman of Cs who considers that in this way also "some facades and shades would be cleaned by the shops that so wish, benefiting both entrepreneurs and property owners of the center.

Manuel Padín has clarified that "this initiative should be agreed with the owners of the different premises in the first place, through the forum provided by the Local Council of Commerce, to be able to elaborate a convention that serves as the basis of the project and develop a plan of execution of the same ".
