This Thursday, the Tenerife Fine Arts Circle unveiled its second art display in 'The Window. Intervened Space' series. The event took place at their headquarters on Castillo Street in Tenerife's capital. Artist Cristina Maya, art curator Octavio Zaya, and the president of the arts organization, Pepe Valladares, were among those who attended the opening.
Cristina Maya's artwork, titled 'The Circle,' will be on show for one month. This exhibition series is part of the institution's 100th-anniversary celebrations. Before Maya, the acclaimed visual artist Fernando Álamo, a Canarias Award winner, launched the series in the same spot with his installation 'Domínguez Garden.'
