under the motto Tots the sabers. Els oficis oblidats, the MACMA has returned to summon the contest of illustrators. An initiative was launched two years ago by the entity so that the illustrators and illustrators of the Marina Alta captured their vision of the region and at the same time saw their art reflected in one of the walls of the new space. And it is that, in the past and first edition, coinciding with the opening of the new headquarters of the Cultural Commonwealth, the contest with the motto was summoned 'Totes les Marines' illustrates what the Marina Alta is for you. Thus, the call, which was accompanied by a representative exhibition of the work of the artists who submitted themselves to the contest, aimed, beyond exploring the visual concept of the Navy, to make known the illustration artists who work in the region.
In this second call it is intended to show the different types of jobs, techniques or crafts typical of the Marina Alta.
