GAMPA’S NEW PREMISES ARE UNVEILED

 “This is a project that started between a year and a half to two years at Flat Bastion Magazine and it is great especially back then I was the Minister for Heritage and we are now once again in a place which is just as historical. It was great to see how the previous premises was converted into a school. The Academy has been victim of its own success and it has done so much and that is all down to Christian and his team. As the Minister for Culture it is an honour and privilege to be here.”

Minister Cortes took over the reins and made a brief statement highlighting the importance that GAMPA has in today’s community. John himself wanted to get into Performing Arts and he joked that he would have become the first Gibraltarian to win an Oscar which was met with a barrel of laughs.

For his part GAMPA Principal Christian Santos thanked both Ministers for allowing this to happen. “I always tell the kids that this is something that you envision as a child and in the end you make it a reality. We have over 350 kids and 22 members of staff and 7 to 8 kids who are in vocational training. We thrive as a community to develop the arts and this is something we definitely have developed and make even bigger in order to make their dreams a reality.”
