ARTA
CUBA and Majorca have been joined together by art and eight artists, four from Cuba and four from Majorca, are currently creating sculptures in Arta. The idea behind this art event, which has been organised by Arta town council and the Council of Majorca, is to join the two areas together. The artists, Miquel Sarasate, Llorenc Ginar, Joan Oliver and Antoni Morroe from Majorca, share artistic space with the Cuban artists; Tomas Lara, Miquel Gomez, Jose Villa and Juan Quintanilla. All the sculptures that they create will have to represent Arta, and once they have been completed, the town council will set up an exhibition of the work. This same idea will be transferred to Cuba, where the four Majorcan artists will visit the island in November.
