This Thursday 18 May can be seen at the José Hernández Museum of Popular Art (MAPJH) the traditional Small and Medium Format Textile Art Salon, with the participation of local and foreign artists.

The appointment will be from the 18.30, when the meeting number began 19, coinciding with International Museum Day.

In this way, the Avenida del Libertador site 2373 will accompany once more (together with the Association of Friends of the Museum) the textile movement.

It is worth noting that the Textile Art Salon is an annual event in which national and foreign artists participate., with works selected and awarded by the jury that offer the visitor a wide and current sample of this artistic field.

In this exhibition you can see pieces that show the wealth of techniques that combine the traditional with the experimental., using organic materials, inorganic or synthetic, and that are expression of textures, volume and color. The expression of textile art refers to the works that are made up of warp and weft, so, unlike handicrafts, does not require a utility function.
