The Gabarron International Awards 2013
Background
The Cristobal Gabarron Foundation created these international awards that bear his name, which had been launched in 2002, after 10 years of cultural activity. The Awards seek to recognize the work and those that distinguish the exemplary record, both individuals and institutions, committed to the defense of those values that constitute the guiding principles of the Foundation, and its contribution to humanity, in each of their categories.
After celebrating in Spain their first 10 editions and its ceremony held at the Teatro Calderón de la Barca of Valladolid, in 2012, the American Foundation, The Gabarron Foundation, took over the organization of the Awards and celebration to be held in the United States, which would have celebrated its eleventh edition and ceremony in the center of Manhattan in New York.
Both foundations were created by the family of the Spanish artist, Cristobal Gabarron, with the support of the artist himself, and various corporations and institutions which identified with the ideas and concerns that the artist has been advocating throughout his life: to educate, to teach, while defending, promoting and spreading the art, science, thought and knowledge in itself, which can be said as, culture in its broadest spectrum. A global idea shared by the various branches of culture and through which, the organizers want to interact with the society in which it is immersed. In order to carry out the decision of its Patronage, the Foundation is now establishing the 2013 edition of the Gabarron International Awards.
