Lovers of design and fashion have a new date with this fair that began its journey six years ago and that, after its Passing through Baluarte, Geltoki or the bullring, it has held its last three editions in the Pamplona cathedral, a setting that it wants to consolidate as a benchmark for the new Âme & Art celebrations. This is how Gema Rada Aznárez, organizer of the event, explains it, who does not conceive of new fairs in other areas of the city. “As artists, it offers us everything. It is our jewel, there is no better location to enhance the value of art and creativity. Contemporary creations go hand in hand with the culture of centuries ago and if it is a good opportunity for the public to discover our work, it is also a good opportunity for them to discover this place.” SIGNATURE DESIGNFashion design, decoration, signature jewelry, plastic arts or illustration are some of the disciplines that can be seen at the fair. The 50 participants will distribute their stands around the cloister and overcloister of the cathedral, a space usually closed to the public, with the aim of publicizing their work, their products and their way of understanding creativity and design under the premises of exclusivity. , innovation and sustainability.Under this way of conceiving the creative process, what the professionals will show will be author design pieces, which can only be accessed in Pamplona during the three days that the fair lasts. “Here only creators participate who do the whole process, that is, they design, create and elaborate. There is no resale, everything is 100% made by them.” Making author works, whether in clothing, jewelry or furniture, also entails a way of making their work known, which, on many occasions, is usually through fairs. For this reason, Âme & Art will make available the latest creations from various disciplines related to design and art from professionals from Navarra, but also from Barcelona, ​​Madrid, Asturias, Zaragoza, Malaga or Bilbao. see the pieces of jewelry that a French designer makes with aeronautical steel. “It is a very particular jewelry store, it is worth it, as is the vintage furniture corner that is going to be installed in the Refectory and in which there are many treasures.” CONSOLIDATED FAIR Fashion design will be present at a fair that, with the With the end of the restrictions, it has been able to gather a greater number of participants and reach figures similar to those registered before the pandemic. And on this occasion, designers from Navarra will have a special role, as is the case with Ione Zabalegi Nuin, one of the emerging local creators who has participated in Âme& Art since its inception and who is beginning to be a reference in the world of fashion. The creator will change her studio in Dormitalería by the cathedral located on the same street and will show part of its new collection, other garments that it has not shown up to now and other surprises since it is committed to publicizing the work of creative men and women. “Many times we lock ourselves up to design and make and people don't see us. Although we move through social networks, you have to be in contact with the public and see the reactions generated by what I am creating”, he indicates. Together with the exhibitors, the atmosphere of the cultural exhibition will be surrounded by music, with an extensive program of dj's and a performance. A bar area will also be installed with the opening of a foodtruck and a creperie, while it will be possible to access the cathedral museum, visit the Occidens exhibition or approach the commemorative exhibition of the 75th anniversary of the Coronation of Santa María la Reala la which can be accessed from the cloister to see, among other objects, the collection of jewels, the donations and a gold-embroidered shawl.

Gema Ruiz considers that the fair is consolidated and that it is well received by the public. This is endorsed by the 6,000 people who visited it in 2019 and the 4,200 who did so last June with half the capacity. “We have been growing little by little and we remain there, with perseverance. It is not easy, but we are achieving it and continuing after 6 years is a good reference”. For his part, Gonzalo García, general manager of the Cathedral Museum, is committed to maintaining this fair in the city of Pamplona. “This third edition consolidates the exhibition. For the artists, having this fair within the framework of the best Gothic cloister in Europe that is currently preserved gives it a special tone. The setting justifies art with art for the Navarrese and for those who they come from outside. It is an art that adds centuries with a very modern and current art. The objective is fulfilled”.
