To boost the performing arts and music sector, making it more accessible to everyone. We work to consolidate the public structures for exhibition and production, to guarantee a high-quality, pluralistic and diverse range of performing arts. Our association creates a space to reflect on how to develop training, research and new technologies, to make theatres effective, efficient and innovative organisations.
To position ourselves as an essential sounding board in the performing arts and music sector, not only at a national level but also internationally. La Red sets out to be a major catalyst for knowledge, information and the aspirations of stakeholders participating in creation, exhibition, distribution and communication, collaborating in the generation of ideas and cultural policies to strengthen and improve the sector.
