Camaguey is ratified as a safe place for the Visual Arts

Camaguey- About 215 thousand people attended the different exhibitions inaugurated in this eastern province center during the past year, according to the information provided by the Provincial Council of Visual Arts, during the evaluation of their work at the end of 2011.

In the past year, the Provincial Council of the Visual Arts acknoledged the performance of members of the creative avant-garde in Camaguey, while others represented Cuba with dignity internationally as potter Marta Jimenez, laureated at the Terracotta Biennial, in Turkey.

A remarkable advance in the objective of linking even more creative delivery within society and significant appointments of local, national and foreign character, nuanced the work of the creators of Camaguey and thus corroborated emblematic events such as the XXVII edition of the Salon of Visual Arts Fidelio Ponce de Leon, held last September.

Public actions in charge of the Project of Naif Art “Isabel de las Mercedes” and PATINARTE, in addition to those carried out during the Fiesta del Tinajon, last November, endorse the priority of the Council to add the population to its proposals.

The above mentioned, is also ratified with the integration of students from the Vicentina de la Torre Academy of Arts and the ISA subsidiary, to collective and personal projects, in various exhibition spaces.
