Leonardo Borruel Ramírez, plastic arts methodologist in the Cuban Upper East, explained that the salon had not been held for more than five years, and it was decided to resume it to stimulate the work and sacrifice of the defenders of the visual arts in the midst of the difficulties the country lives.
The selected works have passed through the municipal events and reach the provincial level to be reevaluated and awarded, from there the best proposals will be chosen to represent Guantánamo in the national meeting to be held in Havana.
Given the massiveness and variety in the participation, three rooms were inaugurated: the children's room, in the Guiñol theater; the amateur, at the headquarters of the José Martí Cultural Society and the one for art instructors, at the Provincial Center of Houses of Culture. The variety of themes, concepts and styles is striking in the contest, which indicates a certain vitality in the manifestation.
As collateral activities prior to the opening of the fair, this week interventions were carried out in neighborhoods such as Los Coquitos del Jaibo with the Quick Ink Graphic Humor Project, together with the promoters of that community. Likewise, in the Santa Catalina de Ricci home for the elderly, the plastic collective Croché con Alas organized appreciative workshops on weaving.
The theoretical section was not lacking, this time by the artist Rogelio Martínez with a conference on drawing and humour, while the outstanding instructor José Ávila Naun invited us to reflect on photography and digital art. This year the hall is dedicated precisely to the figure of Ávila Naun, for his contributions to Guantanamo education and also to Virginia Sánchez, a visual artist with a vast plastic work of local and national connotation.
