La Habana (Cuba) - Applied Arts Magazine and Grafika are the newest partners to support Design/Culture: Icograda World Design Congress 2007.

La Habana will be the international capital of graphic and communication design in October 2007 - a place for designers, consultants, design managers, buyers of design services, educators and students to gather, to share, and to learn. The Congress will offer a memorable gathering of the international design community. A full week of dynamic programming that includes more than 40 speakers from 20+ countries will explore the possibilities in the relationship between culture and design. To make the Congress even more memorable, the events will open on 20 October, Cuba's national day of culture.

"Our media partners are a critical link in reaching the broadest possible audience about the Congress." says Brenda Sanderson, Icograda's Managing Director. "Through Applied Arts and Grafika we can effectively reach Canada's English and French design communities to share the exceptional programme that is happening in La Habana from 20-26 October. Cuba and Canada have a close relationship and the interest from Canadian designers has been high."

"In return, by partnering with Icograda to promote the Congress, we are able to offer Applied Arts and Grafika international exposure and recognition for the work they do to promote design."
