Over ninety works in ceramics, papier maché, textile, metal and miscellany make up the central exhibit in contest and seven collateral exhibitions of the event; which will be opened to the public tonight, in the central lounge of the Cuban Association of Craftsmen and Artists (ACAA).

The head office of the Association is full of magic motives and sparking details. The medieval imaginary of the sorcery has given in the plastic production of this city in alternate Octobers for already fourteen years, when the first ACAALARRE was celebrated, and it supposes a qualitative increasement.

In the holiday of opening and prize-giving ceremony of tonight, the central jury of the event will grant awards to the best pieces for every manifestation, as for institutions, organizations, sociocultural projects and artists of prestige who throughout these years have been joining to the dynamics of the meet and who deliver collateral distinctions.

As theoretical colophon of the event, Dr. Maria Antonia Borroto Trujillo will give tomorrow a conference on the popular ideology of the witches, in the Patio del Artesano (Courtyard of the Craftsman) of the host institution.
