Jerez’s future vision is to continue promoting cultural talent and innovation as the basis for a sustainable transformation of the city through culture. To this end, the 2025 Generarte Awards ceremony was held today. This is an initiative of the Jerez City Council in collaboration with the C\u00e1diz Business Confederation (CEC), part of the Jerez Inspira project and aligned with the candidacy process for the title of European Capital of Culture in 2031.<\/p>\n
The Generarte Awards are part of the comprehensive cultural program in preparation for Jerez’s bid to be European Capital of Culture 2031. This process, from the outset, seeks to engage the sector, identify ideas, and explore proposals from cultural stakeholders in collaboration with local entities.<\/p>\n
