The traveling exhibition “Sembrando Frijoles” will be available until October 30, organized by the Frijol Mágico Cultural Association, which is part of the exhibition cycle of the University of La Serena. This traveling exhibition seeks to provide a relevant space to emerging talent and those artists with a long history in regional illustration, in addition to motivating new talents to group together and professionalize their love for drawing in general.

Carlos Varas highlighted: “I think it is essential to understand that as a University we have to get closer to citizens, to people, because these types of activities sometimes become invisible; However, the talent we have at the regional level is impressive. There are even people from other institutions working here and I think that is essential to create the necessary networks to be able to move forward.”

For his part, Javier Fredes, manager and director of the Frijol Mágico Cultural Association, emphasized: “the invitation is to the entire community, to people who are interested in art and this world. Understand that drawing can be a profession. If you are bad or you are good it no longer exists, what you have to understand is to look for its style. So, if you are drawing or have a croquera or something, this is the opportunity for you to see that things are being done in the region and that you can reach a higher level. So take advantage of seeing this exhibition, reading the curatorship of why these works are on display, it will help you a lot to know what you can do later.”beans 3

One of the attendees of this exhibition, Gabriela Vargas, an academic at the ULS, referred to the opportunity provided by this exhibition and this space. "I think it's great. Young people are always very motivated to participate and develop the talents they have, and in the city and the region there are many talents, so having these groups, these groups that welcome them so that they can have a platform to expose their talent, it seems to me very good".

The exhibition will be open to the community, with free entry, from 10:30 a.m. to 13:00 p.m. and from 14:30 p.m. to 18:00 p.m. Monday to Thursday, and from 14:30 p.m. to 17:00 p.m. on Friday, in the Exhibition Hall, located at Benavente 950, La Serena.
