Since the inauguration of the Contemporary Art Center Puigmarti, the Pyrenean village of Bourg-Madame has hosted various activities of cultural and artistic nature: a meeting of action-painting with children, the visit of famous artists like Lorenzo Quinn and Mercedes Lasarte, the visit of the art critic Josep M. Cadena, interviews with several media, etc.

During the year 2010 interesting exhibitions have been scheduled where we will be able to appreciate the works of Lorenzo Quinn, one of the most international sculptors at the moment, as well as the new exhibition of master Josep Puigmarti with his faces and characters of fiction, and with the novelty that the Catalan genius, who lives in Hotel Estela Barcelona - Art Hotel in Sitges, presents his latest collection of polychrome sculptures, a series dedicated to his well-known "Alien Fashion" that now, surprisingly, acquire three dimensions.

The artist Josep Puigmarti has created the sculpture "Air" – belonging to his famous series “Alien Fashion"- commissioned by Aena (the company managing the airports in Spain) to be delivered as commemorative trophy to the company with better environmental performance this year 2010.

Josep Puigmarti, beyond being a referential artist of the second half of the XXth century, is genuinely committed to work together in the awareness of social and cultural development through his painting and sculpture. From his studio in Sitges at Hotel Estela Barcelona, we cannot help but stand out as a source of pride to have a complete and versatile artist as Puigmarti, demonstrating day after day his true commitment to the environment and concern for nature and our home, the planet Earth.

Culture plays a fundamental role as an active ingredient in the education of present and future generations, and Art, especially, is able to transmit those values in a direct and didactic way, but also rebellious, transgressive and activist.

As part of the Environment Week events, the Madrid-Barajas Airport celebrated the World Environment Day, an initiative promoted by the United Nations Organization to draw the attention of society on the need to preserve the environment.

The top ten results of companies were presented and awarded a diploma and a commemorative trophy to the company with the best environmental performance in terms of implementation of improvements for the prevention of pollution, which was awarded to BOMBARDIER TRANSPORTATION. The trophy, designed by the sculptor Josep Puigmarti, was sponsored by the company AVIATION CLH, SA, winner of the first edition of this competition and was recently delivered to the winner.

MATT LAMB IS ALREADY IN SPAIN
Can Art Change the World? - Absolutely YES

Jerica welcomed the artist and peace activist, Matt Lamb, on an afternoon when the population from Ato Palancia joined the rest of the world as a reflection of unity, harmony and peace.

The genuine artist was received by Mr. Amadeo Edo, mayor of the town, and his city council. They attended the musical "Oil for Lamb”, superbly directed and performed by the artist Felix Amador and his "bailaores" (dancers).

There were, also, important representatives of Valencia, who were awarded a replica of the Tower of Jerica, like the designer Francis Montesinos, honorary ambassador of Umbrellas for Peace Foundation in Spain, Mrs. Maria Lopez, President of the Foundation Alió and a long list of personalities from the world of Art, Culture, Music, Literature, etc.

The event finished singing the hymn of Lamb Umbrellas for Peace by all attendees.

Matt Lamb begins with this act, several events scheduled throughout the community: Exhibitions, conferences, meetings with cultural personalities and, of course, workshops to paint umbrellas.

On Monday September 20th, Mrs. Sheila Lamb, President of Lamb Studios, has been in the parade of Montesinos in the Madrid Fashion Week with Mrs. Maria Lopez, President of Fundation Jorge Alió from Alicante. Both received an umbrella painted by the famous designer, to honour the work of the two foundations and in gratitude for the support of the Foundation Aixec from Valencia. On the 24th, this foundation will host Matt Lamb and Montesinos sharing an action-apinting at its facilities.

On September 21st Josep Puigmarti, in his role as host on behalf of all Spanish artists and Juan Ripollés representing artists from Valencia, will meet Matt Lamb to accompany him in all the scheduled events. Alongside with them will be Mr. Felix Bentz, European Ambassador for Peace Umbrellas, and the Ambassador in Spain, Mrs. Lola Mesado.
