L’Écho des Nouveaux Mondes presented by Port Tonic Art Center is an exhibition of new works conceived by the artists Yassine Balbzioui, Fabro Tranchida, Jigger Cruz and Arvin Nogueras.
This artistic exposition, which runs until 31 September showcases the innovative and diverse artistic expressions of these four distinguished artists, two of them carry the Philippine flag with pride (Cruz and Nogueras). Port Tonic Center is a non-profit association that works in favor of contemporary artistic creation in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Built in a former 4000m2 shipyard facing the sea, they manage an artists’ residence in Les Issambres that welcomes six to seven artists each year for residencies of one to three months. The association operates exclusively on private funds through the competition of amateurs, collectors and corporate sponsorship.
