Apr 15 - Art Trip To Malaga

Written by YGTV Team on 15 April 2015.

Gibraltar Cultural Services on behalf of the Ministry of Culture was pleased to organise an “Art Attack” trip to Malaga recently.

The trip was attended by GCS staff as well as by members of the Fine Arts Association.

The purpose of the trip was twofold: to attend the opening of an art exhibition by George Kowzan who was the adjudicator for this year’s Young Art Exhibition, and to meet the president of APLAMA, Malaga’s equivalent of the local Fine Arts Association.

The meeting with the president of APLAMA proved very informative and fruitful. Ideas were exchanged and the possible future collaboration between the local association and APLAMA was discussed.

The party took full advantage of the trip by visiting several art museums, namely the Picasso Museum, The Carmen Thyssen Museum, the CAC Malaga, and the recently opened Pompidou Centre.

At the Thyssen they were pleased and proud to be able to view a painting by Gibraltarian Gustavo Bacarisas.
