The Cuban Art Factory (FAC) celebrates for the first time the nomination for the prestigious World Luxury Travel Awards 2026 award linked to high-standard tourism in the world.
The Havana cultural space, recognized for its innovative capacity through various cultural projects, appears among the candidates in the Travel-Lifestyle-Art & Culture Experience category, as confirmed by FAC through a statement.
According to that text, it is a recognition “of FAC’s dedication to offering unique experiences that fuse arts, culture and community, consolidating its position as one of the main cultural references in Cuba.”
Sandra Lopes, general producer of the institution, thanked what she considered a “generous opportunity” and explained that FAC received this recognition “with great enthusiasm and humility.”
Since its founding -in 2014- FAC has had among its purposes to promote creative exchange and democratize access to artistic expression in all its variants.
The innovative vision promoted by its founder, the prominent artist and musician X Alfonso, based on the conversion of an old factory into a multidisciplinary space, enjoys wide acceptance by both the Cuban and international public passing through Havana.
His work integrating music, visual arts, dance, film, design and gastronomy has made him a cultural reference beyond the borders of the island, for which he has received various recognitions.
Among them is the recent distinction in the Music Cities Awards 2025held in Fayetteville, Arkansasas the “Best Initiative that Uses Music for Economic, Social or Community Development.”
On that occasion, FAC competed with projects from around the world that use the power of Music as an engine of economic, cultural and social change.
The World Luxury Travel Awards 2026 will be presented next year in a ceremony that will bring together the most outstanding destinations and experiences in the world of luxury tourism and hospitality.
