Seventh International Digital Art Exhibit and Colloquium
International Call
The Centro Cultural Pablo de la Torriente Brau, with the support of
the Historiador de la Ciudad de La Habana (the City Historian), HIVOS,
ENET / ETECSA Cubasí Portal, and the collaboration of the Union
of Cuban Artists and Writers (UNEAC), the Cuban Institute of Art and
Cinema (ICAIC), and the Consejo Nacional de Artes Plásticas,
announces the VII Salón y Coloquio Internacional de Arte Digital
(Seventh International Digital Art Exhibit and Colloquium) with the
purpose of promoting artistic and cultural values created with new
technologies.
The Art Exhibit, which will open on June 21, 2005, will once again
show the current work in this field and favor exchange and reflection
among creators and specialists engaged in these new forms of expression.
The event covers two areas; the National Art Exhibit, of a competitive
nature, and a non-competitive International Art Exhibit, where works
by artists from other countries will be shown.
INTERNATIONAL
DIGITAL ART EXHIBIT
The Centro Pablo calls on artists from foreign countries to participate
in the International Digital Art Exhibit that will be held at the
same time of the National Digital Art Exhibit. Various artistic views
within this expressive modality will be brought together, thus facilitating
debate and considerations on their languages and poetics.
This year the International Digital Art Exhibit will accept proposals
for the category of Printing Works. The art pieces must have been
created using digital tools and reproduced by any printing machine.
Each participant may send up to three works of any size. The works
initial inscription will be accomplished by filling and sending the
form appearing in the following Internet address: www.centropablo.cult.cu/form/formularioviisalon.htm
The printing works must arrive to the Centro Cultural Pablo de la
Torriente Brau before April 15, 2005. The postal address to send the
proposals is:

These works may be found at the Sixth Digital Art Exhibit Portal,

The admission jury will work on the curatorship of the submitted art
works that will be included in the Jury Selection Exhibit and the
