Roberto Avila, territorial vice-president of the Cuban Association of Artisan Artists (ACAA) told Prensa Latina that the "Puro Arte: Pasión por la Artesanía" will be a unique space for people who appreciate the cigar art in the historic center of Matanzas, 62 miles east of Havana.
Competitive works in this fifth edition are elaborated in leather, wood, costume jewelry and metal to try for a grand prize, three first awards and the popularity award.
The exhibit is held in tandem with the Havana Festival of Habanos, from Feb 26 through Mar 6, and anticipates visits from those attending the festival.
The Matanzas ACAA has a membership of 562 creators from the territory s 14 municipalities who are loyal exponents of this art.
