In the Basque Arts stand, in addition to offering information and contacts of the four participating companies, there will be available the catalogues of Artekale (Association of Street Arts of the Basque Country), Basque Streets Arts of ADDE (Association of Dance Professionals of the Basque Country) and the Basque Music catalog of folk music.
