Fair Saturday is a cultural movement that was born in Bilbao in 2015 and whose purpose consists of provoking a massive mobilization of society in favor of culture on the last Saturday of November, one day after Black Friday. A portion of the proceeds from locker of each of the participating cultural events goes to a social cause chosen by the entities and artists themselves. According to Antonio Garrigues Walker, one of the main supporters of project , it is "an impossible idea, but since we don't know that it is impossible, we will make it a reality".

Next Saturday, November 26th, Fair Saturday 2016will feature around 350 events in 70 locations, mainly in Spain, Peru, and Mexico, with an incipient presence in Argentina, Colombia and Panama. Thousands of artists from different disciplines and cultural entities will perform to say that another world is possible, allocating part of the value generated to a social cause of their choice. According to founder Jordi Albareda, "no country can call itself developed if culture does not play a leading role. Art and culture are not important. They are essential to develop fairer, more developed societies. To build a better future.

The University of Navarra Museum brings for the first time the Fair Saturday to Navarra

The Museum is the first cultural entity in Navarra to join this initiative and participates in this project with six exhibitions, three family workshops and an adaptation of the musical Singing in the rain in which 24 students from the University of Navarra participate and which has been produced by Javier Muñoz, from JANA Producciones.

The Museum will donate 10% of its proceeds to the project EBALEThe EBALE, promoted in Navarra by the NGO ONAI, finances the hospital attendance for women and children living in extreme poverty in the Congo. This is one of the solidarity projects of Tantaka, the solidarity time bank that was born at the University of Navarra.
