Pablo Neruda Foundation
"From the beginning, the objective of the Pablo Neruda Foundation has been to disseminate and preserve the poetic, artistic and humanist legacy of the poet, proposing to cultivate and propagate art and literature, as well as to ensure that all types of audiences can approach and know the legacy of our Nobel Prize. The work of the Foundation puts great emphasis on supporting the artistic and literary creation, especially of the new generations, facilitating their houses museums for cultural activities of all kinds, delivering prizes and offering workshops.
Likewise, the Pablo Neruda Foundation promotes and facilitates the meeting and dialogue of writers, artists and the academic world linked to artistic expressions, establishing links with related organizations, both national and foreign, to carry out joint activities and boost the dynamism of the cultural sector in Chile."
