With the aim of commercializing representative products of the most genuine Cuban crafts, the Colibrí store will soon open in Holguín under the distinctive brand of the Cuban Fund for Cultural Assets (FCBC) in this eastern territory.
Carmen Hernández Torres, specialist in commercial management at the FCBC, said that the store will be dedicated to high-quality artisan products, including fiber, goldsmith, textile, ceramics, furniture, footwear and plastic arts.
The store will be a place of opportunities for local artisans and artists, although it will also exhibit products made by creators from other territories, aimed at showing variety in the proposals and offering utilitarian and decorative items demanded by the population, added the specialist.
The FCBC, located on the Holguín Boulevard, is in the completion phase and is expected to be inaugurated in greeting to the 62nd anniversary of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, to be held on January 1.
This project is added to the various works carried out by the FCBC subsidiary of Holguín in 2020 with the purpose of diversifying its offer and encouraging the people to approach the different artistic manifestations.
The institution is characterized by promoting and marketing the most authentic Cuban handicrafts and sponsors various specialized events in this area such as the National Crafts Fair, Arte para Mamá, Arte para Papá and the International Fair Iberoarte.
