FAMA’s March Coffee, Wine and Tour 2026

Make your reservation(s) for our March Coffee, Wine and Tour today! 

FAMA invites you to our Members-Only Event: Enjoy refreshments from Tatte in the sun-filled loggia. Adriana Ospina, director of the Art Museum of the Americas (AMA) will take us on an intimate tour of Inútil (Useless) with artist Stephanie Mercedes, whose new and edgy, frequently kinetic, multimedia works are paired with pieces by important artists from AMA’s collection. Ospina will also give us a tour of Geometries of the Imagination/Geometrías de la imaginación, a fascinating selection of optical illusions by Panamanian artist Nessim Bassan that were described by Arte al Día in 2023 as “simple and complex, delicate and bold, elegant and unrestrained.”

We are limited to 25. If you or your guest are not already members of FAMA, you may join on Eventbrite in the ticket section or join here today:
