ABOUT ILADI

ILADI catalyzes collaborations within a network of creatives who are committed to the development of the art and design industries in Latin America and The Caribbean.

ILADI has identified three sectors that present constraints on the advance of the creative economy in the region: EDUCATION, given the limited academic offer in creative careers and the taboos that still shadow our society when choosing to study one of these careers; PRODUCTION, from the lack of production spaces, shortage of materials and resources, fluctuation in the availability of labor, among others; and ENTREPRENEURIAL LEADERSHIP, due to the lack of guidance and training for creatives who are eager to propose innovative ideas and turn them into profitable businesses that inject the economy with  job generation and market expansion.
