Arts & Sculpture
Cuban art has a very diverse cultural blend of African, European and North American design with a modern flare that embraces the vanguard movement. Art is deeply ingrained into the Cuban culture and reflect the social innovation of people in the pre- and post-revolutionary Cuban era. Making use of dramatic colours, shapes, textures and a wide assortment of media, Cuban artists have plenty to share with those students that are willing to learn.
