It was organized by the White Water Gallery in North Bay and by the Centro de Desarrollo de las Artes Visuales in Habana Vieja, Niurka Mejias and myself were the curators. The latest exhibition was held in 2006 at the WKP Kennedy Gallery in North Bay and was called "From Propaganda to Design" featuring Santos Toledo Argudin. Santos is one of Cuba's foremost graphic designers. Santos and this exhibition were recently featured on Cuban National Television and in Granma Internacional. From Saturday October 4 ( the opening festivities) to November 1 the WKP Kennedy Gallery in North Bay will exhibit "Parejas" (Couples) a multi-media exhibition consisting of printmaking, painting, sculpture, installation art and video. The artists include Nancy Davies, Janette Brossard, Norberto Marrero and myself. Of interest to you is that Norberto was the principal specialist at the Taller Experimental de Grafica de la Habana from 2000 to 2006.DAVID CARLIN aoca, scahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06465347682003897695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780168269723286732.post-13904810204675918292008-07-16T10:59:00.000-07:002008-07-16T10:59:00.000-07:00Thanks for your comment, David.
