The fourth edition of La Banda at Tappeto Volante is coming to an end this weekend and if you have yet to visit this lovingly layered group exhibition–NOW IS THE TIME! An ongoing creative family affair, La Banda first debut in 2021 a response to the socio-cultural disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is now a mainstay exhibition hosted by a gallery that truly cares about artistry, the artists themselves, and the unique narratives they provide through their works.
Featuring works on paper, paintings, and sculptures by 31 artists, curator Paola Gallio does a splendid job of creating a cohesive and palatable presentation that allows each artists their moment in the sun while being visually palatable and consumable. One of our favorite picks includes Marie Anine Moller, along with Domenico Zindato, Tony Cox and Janice Sloane.
Closing reception at the gallery for La Banda, and it is scheduled to be on Saturday, March 1st, 2025 from 4 PM to 6 PM with Sunday being the very last day to view the show.
