Press Release 2015

III Arts Festival, Jimena de la Frontera
12–14 June 2015

The Arts Association, Corral de la Paca, is delighted to announce that this year’s Arts Festival in Jimena de la Frontera will have the added attraction of Open Studios II.  This is a free event, with a group of 12 international, professional visual artists opening their doors to the public.  It’s the second time the village has hosted Open Studios, providing a great opportunity to see the artists in their place of work and to talk to them about their methods and inspiration.  It is also a more personal way for the artists to offer their work for sale.   They will open their studios from 12.00-19.00 during the weekend 13 & 14 June 2014.  It’s a cultural event not to be missed in the setting of one of Andalusia’s picturesque white villages.
This III Arts Festival 2015 will also include a group exhibition by the Open Studios artists to be held in Corral de la Paca.  The notable fotographer Miguel Trillo is the invited artist and will inaugurate the exhibition on 12 June at 21.00.  It will be celebrated with a glass of Cava and followed by a jazz concert in Corral’s beautiful outdoor patio.  It promises to be quite a night of diverse culture.  The exhibition will be open 12, 13 and 14 June.
On the educational front, the III Arts Festival, has one exciting Workshop organised on Saturday 14 June from 10.00-14.00 Painting for Children “El circo de carton”, guided by Juan Ángel Gómez and Anja Tiedemann.
