About 70 people, family, friends and artists from various fields gathered last Friday, November 17 to inaugurate the LAVA ArtEspacio.
This project is a multidisciplinary space to share art in "its broadest expression" and live music. It is the dream come true of David Molina and Iván T. who have both been conceiving this project for some time and which is finally opening its doors to the public.
“We believe that the path of art is sharing. We have suffered from not having a place to develop artistic ideas. That is why we want to offer the space to other artists so that they can use LAVA for their projects. An open place for other artists to give classes in Playa Honda to their groups and a space to share friendship and good times,” say its founders.
“And above all, we want art to flow like LAVA, ignite sparks and awaken artistic dreams in so many people who have that passion turned off or postponed. We want to make LAVA an open ArtSpace to create,” they explained in a press release.
The LAVA ArtEspacio is open to art and creativity for all ages and will offer activities and classes in painting, crafts, digital art, muralism, sculpture, art and wine, among others.
So, it is located on the ground floor of the corner of Chimidas street with Princesa Ico street, below the Ángel Ruiz Hairdresser, in the back of the Deiland Shopping Center in Playa Honda.
