Unicaja is once again present at the Princess of Asturias Awards, now in its 45th edition and whose awards ceremony will take place on 24 October at the Campoamor Theater in Oviedo. As a prelude to this celebration, the institution is lending the façade of its main building, located in the Plaza de la Escandalera, for the installation from this Friday of a large photographic canvas to announce 'Graciela Iturbide: Spain and Mexico', an exhibition dedicated to the Mexican artist, distinguished in the category of Arts.
The exhibition, made up of 173 photographs, will be on display from 16 to 25 October at the Fábrica de Armas de La Vega and is part of the Awards Week. The exhibition will be accompanied by other initiatives in honor of the award-winning photographer, such as ‘Sembraré pájaros’, created by the Berde collective based on her images.
The 45th edition of these prestigious awards will have its main event on 24 October at the Campoamor Theater in Oviedo, with a ceremony presided over by Their Majesties the King and Queen of Spain, with the presence of Their Royal Highnesses the Princess of Asturias and the Infanta Sofia.
Unicaja shares with the Fundación Princesa de Asturias the goals of contributing to the promotion of cultural, humanistic and scientific values, with which to build a better, more sustainable, just and inclusive society. In fact, the bank is a member of the Princess of Asturias Board of Trustees, represented by its chairman, José Sevilla.
The bank, one of the leading banks in the Spanish financial system, is committed to people and to the economic and social development of its areas of operation, including Asturias as one of its regions of origin.
Unicaja's priority is its customers. In fact, it stands out for being a sound institution, close to society.
