Art in Action

ART IN ACTION - A world of Creativity to enjoy.

Sunday 15th February 2015
Gran Hotel Benahavís****Spa


On Sunday 15th February BDFAS (The Benahavis Association for Decorative and Fine Art) will launch its third annual art exhibition, Action in Art in the beautiful surroundings of the Gran Hotel Benahavis. On show will be a wide range of artwork from painting and sculpture to mosaics, digital photography and textile art. Many artists will give demonstrations of their work to show the techniques involved and visitors can try their hand at sketching, making mosaics, decorating a ceramic vase or painting a mural.

This year the exhibition will include paintings by talented youngsters from local schools. Competition themes given to the young artists reflect lecture titles such as Punch and Judy and In the Footsteps of Van Gogh and they have been asked to produce a painting to illustrate their chosen theme. The first prize winner will have his or her design printed on the cover of next season’s BDFAS brochure. Opening the exhibition, helping to judge the competition and presenting the prizes to the young artists will be the TV personality Loyd Grossman OBE. He is well known as a “foodie”. But readers may not know he is passionate about art and history, works tirelessly for art charities and is President of NADFAS in the UK.

Date: Sunday 15th February, from 12.00 to 17.00 Place: Gran Hotel, Benahavis. Entry: 2 Euros (children under 14 FOC) that includes free entry into our prize draw to win a fabulous portrait of your pet painted by Barbara Marie.

A place which seems to be bursting at the seams with poets, novelists and playwrights, who all seem to have been gifted with an incredible innate sense of storytelling and drama. If you were to check the list of Nobel Prize winners since it’s inception, you’d find that Ireland ranks eighth in terms of how many it has produced over the years. Just what is it that makes the Irish so good at writing and the creative process? The first Irish foray into literature Culturally speaking, Ireland lays claim to the fact that it has one of the oldest forms of vernacular literature in the world, with only Greek or Latin able to match it.
