The Tappeto Volante founders, curator Paola Gallio and artists Jared Deery, JJ Manford, and Elisa Soliven are proud to announce the second edition of La Banda, 2023, an expansive group show of works on paper, paintings, and sculpture.

For the second year, TV introduces works by 30 artists drawn from TV's founding artists' and curator's network of contacts, from family to friends and beyond.

La Banda is a playful reference to a famous scene from the 1980 American musical comedy film The Blues Brothers, where the brothers have an epiphany and re-form their band to support their household.

Tappeto Volante (TV for short) opened in 2021 to help uplift and rebuild the community after the displacement following the Covid19 pandemic, and it has been a celebration of the resilience shown by creatives ever since. With TV's annual survey, each founder calls on artists who embrace the gallery's values of inclusivity and equality.

La Banda is designed to celebrate and express gratitude for the continued support and engagement with TV's mission to provide a safe space for underrepresented artists, performers, and emerging curators bringing projects and productions to life. The show is a tribute to the Artists whom Tappeto Volante Projects has grown and walked with through the first 18 months of activitiy.
