New exhibition at ARTE.44

THIS is your last chance to check out the spectacular Lo Espontáneo exhibition at ARTE.44 gallery in Calpe.

Until June 10, ARTE.44 is showing a collection of ceramics, sculptures and paintings by Marga Corsin and Mireille Vetterli.

Marga Corsín is a Spanish artist of great emotional and creative power. She lives and works in Madrid. Throughout her career she has worked in a wide range of techniques and media, including drawing, oil painting, sculpture, watercolour, sumi­e and engraving. Marga has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions and has published an artist’s book on the theme of the Abyssal Worlds.

In the world of ceramics, the Japanese cultivate an aesthetic that is second to none. Japanese ceramists create objects of beauty in perfect harmony. A great inspiration for Mireille Vetterli. Expressive shapes and surfaces are characteristic of her works and sculptures. She acquired her knowledge in Japan, China and Taiwan. Her art has been displayed in Singapore, Taiwan, Croatia, Spain, France, Belgium, Holland and Switzerland. She lives and works in Switzerland and Spain.

She is now stepping down in order to have time to see family in the UK and to travel to her bucket­list of places before settling down for retirement.

Pam was delighted to receive such a thoughtful invitation and to have been fundamental, in a small part, to the success of The Entertainers in raising funds for Jalon Valley Help and several other local charities.

FOLLOWING the heavy rains experienced recently the trip to the L’Albarda Mediterranean Gardens near Pedreguer was blessed with breaks in the clouds allowing the sun to shine through.

The coach then headed for Portal de la Marina shopping centre in Ondara, where most members disembarked to take advantage of some retail therapy whilst others continued with the coach to visit the caves at Benidoleig.

This was the second trip this year organised by Travel Co­ordinators Margaret and Malcolm Hamer so special thanks to them. Members are already looking forward to the next trips planned for af­ ter the summer break.

On Monday June 12 at 2pm the monthly picnic will be held at El Faro, Albir with an opportunity to enjoy a walk to the lighthouse and the next meeting of U3A Marina Baixa will be at the Casa de Cultura in Alfaz del Pi on Monday June 26 at 11am.

Visitors and new members will be welcome to come along and membership is just €10 for the year.
