The University of Navarra Museum has inaugurated QuidARTEan initiative that offers the possibility of sharing and integrating the status caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, through art and artistic creation. The program is aimed at all audiences, especially the elderly and staff health, and brings together workshops, lectures, theater, music, dance and online guided tours. The proposal, which has the support of the La Caixa Banking Foundation and Caja Navarra Foundation, is based on three axes: the work staff , collective reflection and the enjoyment of art as a form of care.

The opening ceremony, held at the University of Navarra Museum, was attended by Enrique Maya, Mayor of Pamplona; Juan Cruz Cigudosa, Councilor for University, Innovation and Digital Transformation, representing María Chivite, President of the Government of Navarra; Mª Carmen Maeztu, Councilor for Social Rights; Alfonso Sánchez Tabernero, President of the University of Navarra; María García-Barberena, Councilor for Culture of the Pamplona City Council; Isabel Moreno, delegate of the La Caixa Banking Foundation in Navarra; Javier Miranda, president of Fundación Caja Navarra; Javier Fernández, director of Fundación Caja Navarra; Ángel Gómez Montoro, president of board of trustees of the Museo Universidad de Navarra; and Jaime García del Barrio, director of the Museo Universidad de Navarra.

With QuidARTE (the sum of 'quid' - "essence or what for of something" - and art), the Museo Universidad de Navarra seeks to make visible the contribution of art to care and emotional management through experience. The project dedicates special attention to the elderly and to groups of health professionals who have suffered in a very visible way the consequences of the pandemic and who benefit enormously from the healing power of art.

In the construction of this program, in addition to emphasizing both groups, we seek to promote the contact of each person with himself/herself, with art and with other people. A program that incorporates art and care from the experience staff, the individual work and collective reflection.

Through actions developed in a safe environment, QuidARTE is structured through proposals from work staff in workshops linked to various artistic disciplines; to collective reflection, with the support of experts in the format of conferences transmitted in streaming; without forgetting the enjoyment of the experience of the hand of guided visits "at home" in online format, and the shows and initiatives that are part of the programming of this quarter in the Museum, as the project of participatory theater. Life lived and to be lived and the initiative Narrating so as not to forgetrecently presented.
