District Arts Councils
The District Art, Culture and Heritage System, which is consolidated as an example of active participation for citizens, has about 40 spaces or scenarios for deliberation and agreement, among which are the six councils for the artistic areas (dance, music, literature, plastic and visual arts, audiovisual arts and dramatic art) and a District Arts Council. These spaces are intended for meeting, deliberation, participation and agreement on public and private policies, plans and programs and the respective strategic lines of investment for the development of the arts. (Decree 480/2018)
Training Sessions
Idartes, in assistance of the management of the participation spaces under its responsibility, provides technical and conceptual tools for the fulfillment of the role and functions of the counselors who are part of the different bodies. To this end, the 2024 Annual Participatory Agenda of the District Arts Council provides a training process for counselors of the artistic, local and district areas, on topics that are of great relevance to the sector and the participation process.
We invite you to access this material, which is available for permanent consultation. Welcome.

Asamblea Distrital de las Artes
El pasado 26 de noviembre de 2024 se realizó la Asamblea Distrital de las Artes, un espacio de diálogo y concertación en el que confluyeron artistas, agentes, comunidad e instituciones, que forman parte del ecosistema artístico de la ciudad. Este evento permitió establecer un escenario propicio para el balance sobre la gestión tanto de los espacios de participación, como de las entidades involucradas con el desarrollo de los planes, programas y proyectos que impactan el sector artístico y la comunidad en general como beneficiaria.
La Asamblea Distrital de las Artes estuvo enmarcada en las acciones que llevó a cabo el Consejo Distrital de Artes desde su Agenda Participativa Anual, y formó parte de las actividades desarrolladas para conmemorar los 30 años del Sistema Distrital de Arte, Cultura y Patrimonio.
