The Light of Images of Segorbe has had 14,583 visits in the
first month of the year, a figure which sets the overall attendance
of the exhibition at 65,979 since the exhibition was opened
last 26th September 2001. These figures are complemented with
the 16,944 reservations made to see the exhibition between
February and April.
Furthermore, The Light of Images has continued with the promotion
of the Segorbe exhibition with two tourist promotion events.
The Light of Images took part at FITUR with a stand which
around 5,000 people have seen, interested in the contents
of the exhibition and asking about the date when it is due
to close. Apart from this over 500 schoolchildren from different
schools in Alcoy enjoyed the reproduction of the educational
workshop that The Light of Images exhibited at the Tourism
Exhibition of Alcoy, which had 2,000 visits in a week.
The educational workshop is an attractive complement to the
exhibition. Between October and January, 8,000 students from
schools and institutes all over the Valencian Community have
gone through the premises of the educational workshop to complement
their training by participating in the architecture, painting
and story-telling activities.
With its presence at FITUR the Valencian Community Light of
Images Foundation starts the work of publicising the next
edition of the project for recovery and restoration of the
Valencian Community's historical artistic heritage. The exhibition,
intended for early 2003, will be held in Orihuela and focus
on the heritage of Alicante diocese. The exhibition will involve
several buildings of the diocese city. The work for restoration
of the church of Santiago, the convent of Santo Domingo, the
church of Santa Justa y Santa Rufina, El Salvador Cathedral
and the Bishops' Palace has already started.
