La Banda at Tappeto Volante

Tappeto Volante proudly announces the third edition of La Banda, 2024, an expansive group show of works on paper, paintings, and sculpture, featuring the works of 43 artists, stems from the commune interest of the Tappeto Volante founders in building and supporting the art community, and strengthening the heterogeneous, multicultural, cross-generational, multidisciplinary art network connected to our practices as gallerists, artists, and curators.

In 2021, TV Projects hosted the first edition of La Banda to catalyze the rebuilding of our community and mitigate the pandemic-related challenges. This initiative involved each member of TV Projects selecting a group of artists to participate in the exhibition. The success of this event led to the organization of La Banda Vol. 2 in 2023, and given the positive impact of these exhibitions, TV Projects is proud to present La Banda Vol. 3, continuing to promote community-building.

The name La Banda is a playful reference to the movie The Blues Brothers, where the protagonists reunite their band to save an orphanage they grew up in after being released from jail. The metaphor encapsulates TV Projects’ mission to provide a safe space for underrepresented artists, performers, and emerging curators to bring their projects and productions to life. Tappeto Volante’s art programming aims to celebrate the resilience of our art community and affirm our values of inclusivity, gender equality, and BIPOC empowerment.
