is to help fund the printing of at least 1000 COPIES of the first edition of this contemporary art book, as well as the presentation, promotion and official launch of the book, accompanied by a FINAL COLLECTIVE EXHIBITION and meetings with the participating artists.

For companies, institutions and collaborators, this campaign represents an opportunity to associate their image with an international cultural and artistic project with projection from Tenerife to the outside world.

“A living archive of contemporary art in Tenerife, created by international artists united by the island.”

This first contemporary art edition documents and preserves an international gathering of artists residing in Tenerife. Through this publication we are creating a visual and human archive that reflects the cultural richness, creative diversity and artistic connection born on the island.

THE CAMPAIGN WILL ALLOW

financing part of the printing of at least 1000 COPIES in physical format, in addition to the official launch and collective exhibition.

The goal is for the project to be distributed in museums, libraries and cultural spaces inside and outside Tenerife (we will send by mail). Furthermore, this support will help consolidate an annual platform dedicated to connecting artists from different backgrounds who find on the island a place of inspiration and creation.

AS THE FIRST THEME WAS PROPOSED: “Tenerife inspires us”, recognizing the aesthetic and emotional strength of the island as a creative engine.

All invited artists currently reside in Tenerife, forming part of a vibrant, diverse and international artistic community, actively participating with their exhibitions and cultural projects.

However, this exhibition and catalogue project is already taking place thanks to the promotional support of Bureau Vallée Orotava and the Gallery Grants offered by the Cabildo de Tenerife, as well as Optica Nuova Visión, Luxury Vintage and ie Emprendedor as support in its promotion.

MORE THAN A CATALOGUE:

it is a sensitive and collective document that records a contemporary artistic experience developed in Tenerife.

Each page seeks to preserve the memory of this edition and, at the same time, project future collaborations and new international editions.

The sale of the copies will help cover part of the production and promotion costs of the project.

“Your name may become part of this cultural support.”

With your collaboration we hope to successfully exceed all expectations and continue building new opportunities for contemporary art in Tenerife.

WHO WE ARE

TheNothingRoom Gallery Boutique – A space for thought, creation and encounter.

It opened its doors in November 2021 by the artist and painter Renata Castilho with the idea of promoting art, creative process workshops and different artistic projects.

Located at Calle La Hoya, 71, ground floor 2, in an area where everyday movement intertwines with the cultural and tourist life of Tenerife, the gallery maintains a clear vocation:

to defend art as a form of thought, dialogue and transformation.

Its purpose is to evolve with each artist, open paths for reflection and generate an honest dialogue between the artwork, the audience and the context surrounding them.

Its strength lies in its independence and in the freedom it offers: a space without rigidity or pretension, where risk and authenticity are valued as much as technique or recognition.

It explores the creative processes and human connections that sustain them, building step by step a community that shares the same conviction:

art continues to be one of the sincerest forms of dialogue for understanding the world.

SCHEDULE

November - December 2026

— Presentation and official launch of the catalogue

January 2027

Therefore, supporters collaborating with the campaign will receive:

FAQ

  • Question “What has been the most surprising or meaningful connection between the international artists living in Tenerife during this project and how do you hope that sense of shared creative community comes across to readers flipping through the catalogue for the first time? ”

    The most surprising connection between the artists was how, despite their very different backgrounds, they found common ground in Tenerife to collaborate and support one another. The island became a bridge between their artistic languages.

    I hope that readers of the catalog will sense that feeling of creative community: a diverse group that, without losing its individuality, built something collective and deeply connected.

  • Question “Hello Reni, I love the idea of assigning each artist a month. It turns the catalog into a kind of calendar of creativity. My question is: how did you decide which artist matched which month? Did the art itself suggest a season, or was it more about their personality? It sounds like a beautiful way to document a community.”

    Hi, Julie, thanks for your question and for the compliment about the project. I’m glad to be able to answer you.

    How did I decide which artist corresponded to each month? Each artist chose the month that suited them best from the group, with everyone’s consent.

    “It sounds like a lovely way to document a community”: The idea is to be able to feature more artists and more talent.

    In the age of AI, documenting on paper and sending it by mail is also a statement of intent to leave a printed record of something that doesn’t vanish into thin air, and so that artists can make themselves known and be appreciated around the world.

#02 / La pluralidad creativa no como una tendencia, sino como una necesidad fundamental para el desarrollo cultural contemporáneo.

**ZAYA REYES:

** En un contexto cultural en constante

transformación, TheNothingRoom Galery es un espacio dedicado a la visibilidad, el diálogo y la representación de voces artísticas diversas, entendiendo la pluralidad creativa no como una tendencia, sino como una necesidad fundamental para el desarrollo cultural contemporáneo.

El proyecto "un artista, un mes", nace desde la convicción de que el arte encuentra su mayor fuerza cuando amplía perspectivas, cuestiona narrativas establecidas y abre espacios para nuevas formas de sensibilidad, experiencia y expresión.

Una plataforma activa para artistas de distintas trayectorias, disciplinas, contextos y lenguajes visuales, promoviendo encuentros que enriquecen el panorama artístico y fortalecen el tejido cultural.

Una propuesta capaz de generar experiencias estéticas significativas, fomentar el pensamiento crítico y acercar al público prácticas artísticas contemporáneas que reflejan la complejidad y riqueza de nuestro

ITALO SOMMA:

“ ¡Un espacio artístico imprescindible en el Puerto de la Cruz!
