The International Arts Festival has been a dream of ours for many years and this year it is finally happening due to the dedication of the committee and volunteer members of this project as well as the Department of Tourism of Marbella. We are thankful for the many patrons and individual persons who have given their financial support to this project.

Our committee is composed of artists, business people and friends of the arts who have always known that many talented artists live and vacation on the Costa del Sol. We came together in 2008 and began to realize our dream.

Caroline Bowley is from the UK is the president of International Festival of Art, as well the president of Women in Business, networking group. Together with Pixie, the driving force behind the Arts Festival this dream they both share now becomes reality. Caroline has been involved in the business community and the arts in Marbella for many years. Her main business is interior designer,Decorate in Style

Pixie Glore is an American artist and illustrator. She is a certified art teacher who occasionally runs life drawing sessions as well as "play days" for other artists. Pixie has helped start two festivals in the US, and has participated in many, hence the knowledge that a festival like this will create an new dimension in the arts field here in Marbella.

Eli Martin is the artist/manager of Van Gestal Gallery in the heart of Marbella in Orange Square. She is originally from Marbella and is totally dedicated to her art and her community.

Emma Jones is an artist and music lover who is actively pursuing her career as an artist while being supportive of her community and keeping track of three beautiful boys. Her taste, energy and enthusiasm are invaluable to this project.

 

June Rendle was trained as an actress at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, in London, where she graduated with Honours.   She played the lead on stage in many productions, performed before the late Queen Mother; she was a member of the BBC Radio Drama Repertory Company, and also worked extensively in Television. For The National Trust she presented annual Shakespeare Festivals, and events involving many dignitaries and celebrities.

We are grateful to the many volunteers that are offering their generous support of time, translation, contacts, ideas and commitment.
