El Corte Inglés on Avenida Francia in Valencia has opened its fifth floor today to exhibit emerging contemporary art with the 'Arte Vivo Interactivo. Jazz 4’33' exhibition, featuring 33 young artists.

The cultural proposal, which can be visited until June 30 next to the center's bookstore area, represents a firm commitment to bringing contemporary art closer to citizens and giving visibility to new Valencian creative voices in an unusual environment for the art circuit.
The exhibition is coordinated by the collective Infinity Art, driven by musician, producer, and cultural manager Ximo Tébar. The show includes an unprecedented collection of works by visual artist Estefanía Serrano, winner of the National Painting Prize from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos 2025, recognized as one of the emerging creators with the greatest projection in the Valencian art scene.
The exhibition explores new forms of interaction between spectator and artwork through modular, mobile pieces open to multiple interpretations, proposing a dialogue between contemporary art, participatory experience, and new collecting formats.
Infinity Art has established itself as one of the most unique artistic projects linked to interactive and modular art in Spain, participating in international events such as Estampa, Art Madrid, and Amsterdam Affordable Art Fair. Its collection currently holds over 500 unique pieces.
The exhibition includes modular works from the Infinity Art 2026 collection, allowing visitors to discover new emotional and narrative relationships with contemporary art. The exhibited pieces will be part of the 'Arte Emergente Interactivo. Infinity Art & El Corte Inglés' Award, which will recognize the best innovative and interactive artistic proposal. An independent jury will select the winning work.
Since its creation in 2021, the award has served as a visibility platform for young Valencian artists, with previous winners including Amina Kouissar, Antonio Ovejero, Estefanía Serrano, Lucía Berbel, and Aiden García.
