Countdown to FIAM II - A Truly International Art Festival

Postby andalucia » Sat Jun 12, 2010 9:56 am

2nd Festival International de Arte Marbella - 17-20 June 2010

With more than one hundred high calibre artists confirmed to participate in the second edition, the Festival de Arte International Marbella is on track to be an even more successful cultural spectacular when it takes place in the resort from Thursday 17 to Sunday 20 June 2010.

Some twenty different nationalities are represented among the artists exhibiting, and the FIAM is living up to its name as an international art festival. The multicultural mix of participants is a true reflection of the cosmopolitan community in Marbella. There are artists from Spain, UK, Germany, USA, Sweden, Denmark, Morocco, Russia, Egypt, Italy and Georgia among others exhibiting their works in the 2010 FIAM. With an outstanding selection of artists from around the world preparing to display their works, FIAM is anticipated to attract a spectacular number of visitors as this year’s event is extended to four days.

A Cultural Highlight

Some 20,000 people visited the 3-day event last year, and this year’s festival promises to be even more popular. With an ever more enticing programme of entertainment, the new Vision of the Future area devoted to digital art and new technologies, a media centre and much more, the festival which is fully supported by the Tourism Council of Marbella Town Hall, comprises a dynamic street festival bringing the centre of town to life in an explosion of colourful art, music and performances over four days. Sprawling down the Alameda and the Avenida del Mar in the heart of Marbella between the quaint Old Town and the Paseo Marítimo, artists will display their work in individual white tents.

And it’s not just the artists who are reflecting the international nature of life in Marbella; the entertainment programme too is a multicultural affair with Spanish theatre, flamenco and guitar, Welsh and Scottish singing talent, a Georgian starlet, British and American theatrical and dance performances, South American salsa prowess and a selection of rock bands from Spain, UK and Sweden, feature among the multi nationality melange of music, theatre and shows which will all add to the upbeat atmosphere of this major cultural event.

For full details of the four days of varied entertainment on offer, look out for the colourful, A5 festival programme, available in a wide range of establishments along the coast or log onto
