68 artists unite: Nerja exhibition raises money for local charity

An exhibition bringing together 68 artists from across Spain is giving art lovers in Nerja the chance to support a good cause while discovering a wide range of creative work.

Aunando Arte y Solidaridad, meaning ‘bringing art and charity together’, is being held at the Sala Municipal de Exposiciones on Calle Almirante Ferrándiz, 12. Organised by the Círculo de Pintores Solidarios, the collective exhibition runs until Sunday, November 1.

Part of the proceeds will go to Cruz Roja de Nerja, the local branch of the Spanish Red Cross, helping the charity continue its work in the community. Artists from different parts of Spain have contributed to the exhibition, which brings their work together around a shared charitable purpose. Visitors can view the pieces and support the initiative, including through purchases. Organisers have not announced a fundraising target or confirmed what proportion of sales will go to the charity.

A growing artistic tradition in Nerja

The exhibition builds on previous editions of the same project, which has already brought artists and charitable causes together in the town. Back in 2023, a similar exhibition organised by the Círculo de Pintores Solidarios featured 45 works by 15 painters. Money raised through painting sales was also destined for Cruz Roja de Nerja. This year’s event involves 68 artists, extending the project’s reach and giving visitors the opportunity to discover work by a larger group of creators.

How to visit the exhibition

Art lovers and residents looking for a cultural outing can visit the Sala Municipal de Exposiciones before the exhibition closes on November 1. Published event information lists opening hours as 11am to 2pm and 5.30pm to 9.30pm daily. Visitors planning a trip may wish to check the latest arrangements with the organisers.

For Nerja residents and visitors, the exhibition offers a chance to enjoy art while supporting a local charitable cause. Further details about the participating artists, individual works and fundraising total have yet to be published.
