On 19 March, La Roca Village, Barcelona, launched a year-long exhibition programme dedicated to Gala Dalí, a long-hidden figure in the Surrealist art movement, who influenced the work of iconic artists including Max Ernst, Man Ray, Paul Eluard and, of course, her husband, Salvador Dalí.
Maasmechelen Village, Brussels, has launched a unique collaboration with renowned Belgian landscape artist Jean-Louis Muller, who has transformed the Village into a botanical oasis under the theme ‘Fashion is our Nature’.
Las Rozas Village, Madrid, has transformed into an open-air art gallery, offering ‘Everlasting Love’ on its boulevards through a set of installations, specially created by contemporary artist Noemí Iglesias, until the end of April.
In the UK, Bicester Village and Blenheim Palace have joined forces with some of Britain’s most iconic fashion designers and brands to create ‘Icons of British Fashion’, the largest exhibition in Blenheim Palace’s 300-year history, which will be open to the public from 23 March to 30 June.
