EL ARTE EN CUBA: INSIDE AND OUT

The Cuban Cultural Center of New York celebrates its 15th consecutive annual conference, this year dedicated to the history and development of Cuban art from its origins to the present, from the founding of the Escuela San Alejandro in 1818 to present-day performance art. The all-day event will not only cover the evolution and the different influences that have shaped the Cuban artistic landscape through illustrated formal presentations and archival films, but will also include a special exhibit of works by past Cuban masters and a silent auction of some of the most sought-after Cuban and Cuban-American artists today. With the participation of artists and scholars from both the Island and the Cuban diaspora.

The event will run from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and will include a special tour of Sotheby's Latin American art collection.
