Over the last few years, Marbella has witnessed the birth of a new and vibrant contemporary art scene. This scene is made up of galleries that represent national and international artists in art fairs, both inside and outside the borders of Spain, and whose works form part of the collections of important museums and have been exhibited in such important events as the São Paulo, Lyon and Havana Biennials; and international fairs of the stature of Art Basel, Arco and Maco Zone, among others.
As a result of this new context, and with the aim of generating a cultural fabric that promotes new relationships with the public, not only in terms of contemporary production, but also with the desire to establish a synergy between art galleries, in 2020 the Unión de Galerías de Arte Contemporáneo de Marbella (MUAC) was born, made up of the following galleries: Badr El Jundi, Es Arte Gallery, Isolina Arbulu, Reiners Contemporary Art, Sholeh Abghari, Wadström Tönnheim Gallery and Yusto/Giner.
In these moments of crisis, we are aware of the unavoidable commitment that art has with society. That is why, now more than ever with MARBELLA GALLERY WEEKEND, we want to spread the voice of the artist.
To be active and present is a prevailing obligation that unites us, not only as galleries, but also as representatives of those who have put their trust in us, the artists.
