ARICANA

ARICANA

Asociación Rosarina de Intercambio Cultural Argentino Norteamericano (A.R.I.C.A.N.A.®) was founded in 1943 thanks to the spontaneous decision of a qualified group of people from Rosario. It was composed of artists, writers, journalists, university professors, manufacturers, and other professionals. Its objective was to create a fluid exchange of ideas between Argentine and American culture.

ARICANA® is a Non-Profit Civil Association with legal status from the I.G.P.J. according to Decree Nº 13.605 of 10/03/1956.

Thanks to this initiative, our Binational Center was created, strengthening in a significant way the friendship between both countries.
