Tomás y Valiente Center of Art opens its doors to an exhibition that explores the existing relationship between visual arts and fashion design. The proposal, new and different, aims to converge both artistic languages and aesthetic references into a final result that is a garment and, at the same time, a work of art.
This exhibition unites art, solidarity and social commitment. One of the fundamental parts of the project FASHION ART is the creation of a foundation, the Fashion Art Institute, whose target is a specific plan of development in the area of Amador, Panama.
