Entertainment at Arte Marbella

The lovely Emma Jones has put together an amazing schedule of entertainment for the Marbella Art Festival every evening from 6pm which I am really looking forward to. The theme is classical and jazz and there’s a really good mix of acts performing in the Parque de la Alameda which are free to enjoy.

Highlights include singing sensation Anna Sargeant and pianist Heather Bellene and Helena Paul and her jazz trio who are performing at the inauguration on 20^th June. Anna will also be singing with Irene Delro on Sunday 23rd June from 7.30pm to close the festival. The beautiful soprano Julie-Anne Hunter (pictured here) will also be filling the park with song.

Please note that you can get a coveted place at the inauguration by making a donation and becoming a Friend of the Festival, but places are limited, so don’t delay in making your donation.

Here’s the full schedule, come on down and listen and don’t forget to stop by the tent to enjoy the great art too.

Countdown to the Marbella Art Festival

Yesterday was the press conference for the International Art Festival of Marbella which is opening on Thursday and will be open for the public from Friday at 4.30. This is going to be an amazing event featuring over 60 artists lining Marbella’s Avenida del Mar plus an amazing programme of entertainment. At the press conference the Councillor for Tourism Jose Luis Hernandez confirmed the Town Hall’s belief in the festival as highly important for the promotion of Marbella as a cultural destination and its ability to bring together so many nationalities.

President Caroline Bowley commented, “Arte Marbella brings visitors from all around the world to Marbella and promotes the town as a cultural destination, broadening its appeal. It allows people of all ages, nationalities and interests to experience art outside the gallery and makes it affordable for people to buy. We believe that bringing art to the people is a really important responsibility and so many people get to experience these works who would not visit a gallery.

Arte Marbella Need Help to Save Festival

Next week (20-23 June) Marbella’s International Art Festival is planned to take place in the centre of Marbella, but due to a lack of sponsorship they are facing a funding shortfall and have put out the plea below for supporters, donations and sponsors. Please pass this on through the magic of social media and help to save this important cultural event.

Dear supporters of the festival,

As you are probably aware the Internaciónal Festival de Arte Marbella is taking place from 20^th to 23^rd June in the Avenida del Mar and Parque de la Alameda Marbella and we have over 60 artists coming to display their works, plus a packed programme of entertainment.

This is a hugely important cultural event for Marbella and something which is done by a committee of volunteers for no profit. However this year we have not been able to get any sponsors and without your help the festival is at risk.

If you believe that it is important to represent Marbella as a cultural centre and want to be able to enjoy great art outside of a gallery, please become a friend of the festival.

We are looking for donations of 50€ to become a friend of the festival and receive the following –

The Puente Romano Hotel has long been known as a great destination for lunch, dinner and dancing into the wee hours, but now there’s even more reason to go there for a night out with the launch of Plaza Village.
