Sponsorship and Additional Support

Carlos Eduardo Herrera, vice-president and one of the founders of MAAA, welcomes Teresa Wilkin, Cultural Attaché of the U.S. Embassy.

The beginning stages of this exhibition were made possible through the generous support of the U.S. Embassy in Venezuela. In May 2003, Teresa Wilkin, Cultural Attaché for the U.S. Embassy, accompanied the curator of the "5x5" exhibtion, Juana Valdes.

The sponsorship of this exhibition will enable this group of artists to continue making art in their own place of origin and allow them to enter into exchange with one another, within a greater dialogue on an international scale with other artists, curators and publics. This exhibition is organized by Ali Cordero Casal founder/president of the Museo de Arte Acarigua Araure with support of the Venezuelan American Endowment for the arts, ( a New York State 501-3C not for profit organization). The Venezuelan American Chamber of Commerce of the United States will publish an article detailing the progress of this exhibition in their newsletter, magazine and website. (www.venezuelanchamber.org). Since its initial conception the artists have been able to meet virtually and communicate via phone and internet sponsored by ECI Calleci Teleconferences to keep abreast of the exhibition and to share information. Join us for this upcoming exhibition in February of 2004.
