El Festival Cubano 2001

Note:
With the high cost of shipping many of our customers choose to ship by USPS. For small and light shipments this is usually less expensive, but please be aware that their estimates are often wrong and their service can be very slow (sixteen days for Priority Mail from Philadelphia to New York City recently). The service is not always as economical as it may appear, particularly on larger or more valuable shipments. USPS estimates only include insurance up to $100 for its domestic shipments. If you ask for full insurance we will recalculate the shipping cost and send you an invoice for any difference in cost. For overseas shipments USPS will not insure for over $650. On request we can get estimates for overseas shipping from DHL.

El Festival Cubano 2001

October 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001

In October through December 2001 we were participants in a festival of performances, exhibitions and cultural events in Philadelphia called El Festival Cubano. Indigo Arts' contribution was an exhibition of work by Self- Taught Cuban Artists, which opened October 5th, 2001. We plan to participate in El Festival Cubano 2002, with Por un Mundo Mejor, a show opening in October 2002 of work by the Grupo Bayate group of self-taught artists from Santiago de Cuba.

On Saturday, October 13th (5PM) we were pleased to host a gallery talk by art historian Joan C. Pearlman of New York's New School University. Ms. Pearlman has written extensively on the self-taught artists of Cuba, most recently about José Montebravo, in the Folk Art Messenger (Winter/Spring 2001).

Other participants in El Festival Cubano included the Ballet Folklorico Cutumba of Santiago de Cuba, Taller Puertorriqueno, Photo West Gallery and photographers Laurence Salzmann and Susan Bank. Click here for more information on El Festival Cubano
