Uruguayan Evening at Patricia's and Universal Constructivism

Thank you Dominique for the beautiful gift of Uruguayan art to Artspa!





Memberes of Artspa attended a gathering at Patricia's to discuss a future exhibit in Uruguay based on the work of Joaquin Torres Garcia. We thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful slide show that Patricia presented and are inspired to have an exhibit and future trip to Uruguay. Thank you Patricia and Jason for hosting us!
