PRESENTS
THE TRAVELING IMMIGRANTS ART EXHIBIT 2009
Approximately 40 immigrant artists (artists who were displaced from their
homelands) will participate in 4 exhibits throughout the metropolitan New York
area, the first two openings taking place in July, 2009. The artists come from
a variety of continents and countries including Ivory Coast, Taiwan to
Guatemala and Chile.
This exhibit was conceived because Art has transformative and healing powers
which are truly needed at this time. It can transcend barriers, borders and
differences. The Immigrants Art Exhibit provides an opportunity for immigrant
artists to respond artistically to this time in history in which immigrants are
being globally and locally persecuted and deprived of their rights.

Presentan:
LA EXHIBICION RODANTE DE ARTE INMIGRANTE 2009
Mas de 40 artistas inmigrantes (artistas que fueron desplazados de sus patrias
por diferentes razones) serán parte en 4 exhibiciones de arte a
través del área metropolitana de Nueva York y New Jersey. Las
primeras dos inauguraciones serán en julio del 2009. Los artistas son
inmigrantes que provienen de lugares tan diversos como de México a
Hungría y de Chile a la Costa de Marfil.
La Exposición de Arte Rodante tiene como meta exponer la riqueza
cultural de la experiencia del inmigrante en los Estados
Unidos. El arte puede trascender barreras, obstáculos y
diferencias. Tiene poderes transformativos y curativos que francamente
son necesitados en este momento histórico cuando los inmigrantes
están siendo acosados, hostigados y violados en sus derechos
humanos. La Exhibición abre un espacio para que artistas visuales y
artesa@s inmigrantes puedan dar una respuesta artística a estas
persecuciones.
