Update 8 November: The first exhibition was so successful that the Ten-Diez movement is opening a gallery space in the Magma Centre on 16 November to showcase local artists and share their art. The inauguration starts at 9pm, with music from 9.30pm, but doors open earlier, at 5pm. From Monday 19 November, the gallery will be open to the public between 9am and 2pm, and again between 3pm and 5pm, Monday to Friday. There is more information HERE, and I’m sure we all wish them every success.

Original post 30 July:  There’s a rather special event to look out for between 21 to 29 September, when the TEN-DIEZ movement presents an 8-day-long exhibition in the Magma Centre in Playa de las Américas. The concept is a cultural community one: 10 Photographers, 10 views, 100 images –  all the photographers offering a united view of their artistic environment (they’re all Tenerife based) and showing their own Tenerife beyond the exotic geography that we’re familiar with.

The motivation for the exhibition is for these artists, and they’re artists, of that there’s no doubt, to produce a closer and more extensive interaction with the public, with the photographers involving themselves actively in image production, demonstrating it to the audience, and collecting feedback direct from them, a contact between creators and spectators. They’ve been working on this exhibition since November 2011, and now have backing from over 25 local and 4 international businesses.

There will be additional activities and competitions sponsored by various international companies, and these will be announced over the course of the next few weeks. For further information, see the TEN-DIEZ website HERE and Facebook page HERE. Entry to the exhibition is free
