Contemporary Latin American Art

Galleria Comunale d'Arte Contemporanea al Montirone, Abano Terme (PD)

Latin American Art Museum, Museo Civico di Abano Terme promote Contemporary Latin American Art.

Art exhibit marks significant milestone in the exchange of culture between U.S. and Europe.

The Latin American Art Museum in Miami and the Italian Museo Civico di Abano Terme, announced today they have joined forces to promote Latin American contemporary art in Europe, through an art exhibition taking place on July 14, 2000, at the Museo Civico di Abano Terme.

"Latin American contemporary art has a richness in culture that has become increasingly popular not only in the U.S., but around the globe," said Raul Oyuela, of the Latin American Art Museum. "Given its world-wide acceptance and the high demand for culturally sensitive art, we have organized the first of what we hope will become an established tradition between the U.S. and Europe in promoting Latin American contemporary art."

The artists for the show were selected in Italy by the director of cultural art, based on several dozens of catalogues submitted by artists in 1999. Of these, 20 artists were chosen to participate in the exhibition at Abano Terme, all of which come from Latin American backgrounds and reside in Florida.

Although Latin American artists are now becoming more well-known internationally, there is still room for growth and recognition. The Latin American Art museum aims to draw public attention to their art and acts as a liaison between museums around the world and selected artists. The museum was created by Raul Oyuela. Admission to each exhibit is free of charge.

Located at 4006 Aurora Street, Coral Gables, FL 33146, the museum displays all types of Latin American contemporary paintings and sculptures, each chosen not for reputation of its creator nor for its market value, but rather for its quality.

Exhibition open to the public on July 14 through August 10, 2000 in Abano Terme at:
Pinacoteca Civica al Montirone
Comune di Abano Terme
Via Pietro D'Abano 20
35031 Abano Terme (Padova) Italia
