Our aim at Fondo Arte-AS is not only to trade with the work of the most prestigious national and international artists, but also to bridge the gap between art and the public, and promote their appreciation and knowledge of art.
For this reason, we organise and hold courses at our premises (which are free to sign up for) in which famous critics and curators give talks to all who wish to take part, on all kinds of topics related to the world of art: ranging from the history and evolution of art up to its intervention in aspects of everyday life, such as cinema and architecture, to name just two examples.
For information on the courses we shall be holding in the near future, please subscribe to our newsletter Ventana al Arte, and we will contact you via e‐mail with the details.
