Your spring arts and culture hit list

Sure, there are the world’s most exciting designers to shop, savings to enjoy and delicious restaurants to sample – but these latest art installations and fashion moments are reason enough to visit.

Celebrate more than 25 years of nurturing emerging talent this spring at Las Rozas Village with the enchanting ‘Everlasting Love’ open-air exhibition. Immerse yourself in the artistic brilliance of multidisciplinary Spanish artist, Noemi Iglesias. In collaboration with the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum and Fundación Callia, Iglesias brings Las Rozas Village to life with a symphony of floral motifs delicately sculpted in porcelain.

Reflecting on her recent creations, Iglesias muses, “Flowers help to express emotional language very well. After all, giving flowers – to show love or affection – is almost an international language.” These thought-provoking installations, adorned with hundreds of unfired black, red and pink flowers, inspire meaningful conversations about how love can survive in an increasingly digitalised and individualist world. This exhibition complements the ‘Love Me Fast’ exhibition at the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum, on display until 28 April – a must-visit if you find yourself in Madrid.

As spring blossoms, imbuing the air with the promise of renewal, Maasmechelen Village offers an idyllic sanctuary to reconnect with the outdoors. Surrounded by verdant landscapes, the Village welcomes thew new season with the organic creations by Belgium-based landscape artist and willow weaver, Jean-Louis Muller. Celebrating the region's natural beauty, Jean-Louis’ intricate willow installations invite us to forge a deeper connection with our natural surroundings. Don’t miss the chance to witness his craftsmanship firsthand, as he brings his creations to life during live demonstrations.

Immerse yourself in a three-day feast for the senses, where emerging talents such as Colt, Corine, and Julien Granel grace the stage with their captivating performances.
