On June 10, 11 and 12, and for the fourth consecutive year, the Corral de la Paca cultural association is proud to present its FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS in Jimena de la Frontera.
The Festival's objective to bring together three Arts: painting and sculpture, the circus and music so as to attract the young, via the 'hook' of the circus, and immerse them by becoming participants.
This year is significant because it is the centenary of DADAISM. The dadaists promote change, the freedom of the individual, spontaneity, the immediate and the random... we want to render tribute to them.
The inauguration will take place next Friday, June 10th at 8:30 pm, with the opening of the 2016 OPEN STUDIOS collective exhibition. Eleven recognized painters and sculptors are present.
The Inaugural Gala is to be presented by D. Eduardo Sáenz de Varona, doctor at law, professor and poet.
