5x5 Acariqua-New York began as an artistic exchange when five artists from New York traveled in 2004 to Venezuela where they exhibited at the Museo de arte Acariqua-Araure with five artists living and working in the state of Portuguesa, Venezuela. While in Portuguesa the artists met and began a critical dialogue on contemporary art over a period of 21 days. In 2006, a reciprocal exchange took place when those five Venezuelan artists traveled to New York and all ten artists exhibited together at the Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center. This exhibition continues to travel throughout the US and Latin America furthering the artistic culture exchange of all artists.
