This year the Mostra celebrates the 30th anniversary with the slogan "Shows that make you grow". It claims culture as a source of essential food to grow as people at any age. For this reason, the protagonist of the poster is a girl nourished by shows, who stands on tiptoe to get bigger and bigger. The support of Acción Cultural Española (AC/E) through its Programme for the Internationalization of Spanish Culture (PICE) in the modality of Visitors makes it possible to support the travelling expenses of foreign curators and programmers. Visitors to this edition are Shu-Ming Ju (Taiwan Dot Go Children's Art Festival, China) and Corina Petrache (Teatrul Ion Creanga, Romania).
