ART WORKSHOP INTERNSHIP
A Multicultural Experience in Madrid, Spain
We partnered with the museum "La Neomudéjar" and "Fundación Heriberto Nieves" to sponsor an international workshop in Spain for three emerging artists for three months. During the workshop, the artists had the opportunity to gather inspiration from art exhibitions at the Historical Museum, interact with fellow resident artists, and immerse themselves in the environment of a city warehouse in Madrid and the countryside of Huete. These talented individuals from Puerto Rico showcased their art at the historic headquarters of the Neomudéjar Museum, becoming ambassadors of our rich cultural heritage.
🟡 Marcos Daniel Crúz Vicéns <@palma_verde>, a visual narrator whose work encapsulates the identity of the Puerto Rican people.
🟡 Miguel Ángel Feba <@miguelfeba>, whose creativity transcends the conventional limits of art.
🟡 Andrés Meléndez <@andrusno>, distinguished for his innovative fusion of graphic art and painting.
