And if it doesn't give up, it's because of you. Every year we set ourselves the challenge of organizing these multidisciplinary artistic events with the aim of making visible and empowering people with functional diversity.
And we know that it shouldn't have to be necessary. We know that all people, regardless of their class, category or condition, should have the right and freedom to be part of the usual creative processes, of the artistic circuits, and to be present in all educational centers, in all professional spaces and in every stratum of this society.
It should be an absolutely normalized matter. But it isn't. It still isn't. That's why we return, year after year, with the same enthusiasm and the same determination that we have maintained since 2017, when we celebrated the first edition of this meeting of interaction, emotion and inclusion that has as its headquarters and epicenter the Museum of Contemporary Art of Alicante (MACA). The official reason, of course, is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities celebrated every December 3rd. But we work every day, unrelenting, so that full inclusion becomes a reality.
EVERYONE MACA does not give up.

When these December dates arrive, when the days are shorter and colder, we have more desire than ever. The year is ending, but passion prevails. And it is precisely this overflowing passion, this need to go far, to step outside the guidelines and break away from the marked paths that pushes us to organize, once again, this TOD@S MACA: wonderful multidisciplinary artistic events with the aim of making visible and empowering people with disabilities.And we return with the same objectives as always because, unfortunately, it is still necessary to work on this: that all people can participate in the usual creative processes, in the artistic circuits, and be present in all educational centers, in all professional spaces and in every stratum of this society. We seek social, political and human equidistance. Something that has not yet arrived for many reasons. And as long as that "yet" remains, we will be here, once again since 2017, celebrating these meetings and exchanges full of emotion and inclusion at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Alicante (MACA) around the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, which is celebrated every December 3rd.With TOD@S MACA what we seek is to bring contemporary art closer to ALL types of audiences, thus fostering interest in culture, the arts, participation, creativity and respect for all groups and strata of citizenship. The idea is to build bridges between people, and to make our differences, our diversity, instead of an obstacle or a communication barrier, an opportunity for mutual learning, for collective creation. We all add up if we all participate.The TOD@S MACA program consists of numerous artistic and cultural activities, in which we will transform the museum into a privileged space to awaken the genius of a spectator unfamiliar with the art world, establishing a dialogue with the public and inserting the museum into the social fabric of the city to become a place FOR ALL.TOD@S MACA is not specifically aimed at a social group. It is not exclusive to people with disabilities or social exclusion. The target audience for these events is ALL OF SOCIETY. We could hardly build a more inclusive, tolerant and empathetic world if we do not count on the people who make it up. That is why the program of activities does not understand specific groups: it is open to all people.
From December 2 to 4, 2022. It should be an absolutely normalized matter. But it isn't. It still isn't. That's why we return, one more year, with the same enthusiasm and the same determination that we have maintained since 2017, when we celebrated the first edition of this meeting of interaction, emotion and inclusion that has as its headquarters and epicenter the Museum of Contemporary Art of Alicante (MACA). The official reason, of course, is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, which is celebrated every December 3rd. But we work every day, unwaveringly, so that full inclusion becomes a reality.
