Incredible: The exhibition is up! — Art G. Oppelland-Hampel
Great events are lying ahead! Two interesting exhibitions in the east of Málaga promise to be very interesting art events.
Four of our members will present their works in the great event of the Art Walk Cómpeta , which will takes place the 20th, 21st and 23rd, 24th of April. Anouk Slegers, Gerrit Oppelland-Hampel, Lieuwke Loth and Sally Hirst will be present in different venues of the Art Walk, while Annabel Keatley is preparing the new exhibition “Mini Cuadros2”.
You will find Anouk Slegers and her art in venue 1, Gerrit Oppelland-Hampel in venue 5, Sally Hirst in venue 10 and 14 and Lieuwke Loth in Galeria Luz de la Vida, venue 12. We will be happy to welcome you!
With the exhibition “Mini Cuadros2” Annabel Keatley, owner of the gallery, is joining the successful first edition of Mini Cuadros that was held 2017. Mini cuadros 2 is a “second edition”, continuing the theme of showing small works of art. All CdAC members will participate in this show in May. The exhibition will take place in Almuñécar in Annabel’s gallery „Espacio Creativo“. A very special add-on for this event: Annabel will offer some Mini Workshops during the time of the exhibition. We will soon publish the itinerary of these exclusive art classes. Each class will allow three participants only.
Lieuwke Loth, member of the Costa del Arte Collective and her Galeria Luz de la Vida are organising a vibrant dynamic art event in Cómpeta! This will be a great event to visit for you, with fantastic artists from many countries and a very interesting program for the visitors!!!
10 talented professional artists travel from different countries to the picturesque mountain village of Cómpeta, Málaga, Spain for the 4th International Art Symposium LUZ. They come from Poland, Italy, Denmark, The Netherlands, Japan, Cyprus and Albanie. While they come from different artistic backgrounds and speak different languages, each artist makes the journey to Cómpeta to share this exciting new experience with his fellow artists.
The concept of the symposium is to create, for a week, an environment where professional artists from all over the world can meet to exchange knowledge, techniques and ideas related to their chosen profession. It provides new connections and networks. The beautiful Spanish village Competa and the impressive nature of the natural park will definitly be inspiring for the artists! Some of them have never been in Spain.
The symposium is a public event using a location in the natural park where local people and art-lovers will be able to experience artists creating their own particular style in real time.
The visitor will be given a good insight into the daily work of a diverse collection of artists. Two times in the week there is a special offer of lunch and music in the Natural park. At the end of the week, Saturday 20th of October, all art works will be exhibited in the Galeria Luz de la Vida in Cómpeta!
