Havana, June 2 (RHC)-- The Cuban University of the Arts (ISA by its Spanish acronym) celebrates 45 years in 2021. On the occasion, a communications campaign was launched that extends through December.
In statements to the press, Vice dean Enia Rosa Torres said the aim is to highlight the institution’s accomplishements since its creation in 1976.

The program includes homage-paying ceremonies to founders of ISA, academic exchanges and artistic presentations in all disciplines, as well as a documentary series entitled ‘La trascendencia de lo efímero’, about the Center’s history and its role within the Cuban cultural policy.
