News from Cuba Gallery of Fine Art


Legal Travel to Cuba

Cuba Gallery of Fine Art
People-to-People Educational Exchange Tours to Cuba
 
Fine and Performing Art Tour of Havana
Next tour:  October 18-23, 2013.  
If you’ve ever wanted to go to Cuba, now is the time, as a citizen ambassador.

“People to People Educational Exchange Tours” is an initiative that allows US citizens to travel legally to Cuba to participate in educational activities while offering direct engagement with the Cuban people.  Cuba Gallery of Fine Art of Brevard County offers this highly rewarding experience of meaningful exchange with, in particular, Havana’s fine and performing artists in their homes and studios.   
        

We have 15 years of experience traveling in Cuba.  We limit our tours to a cozy 12 persons.  Because of a global interest in Cuba and the vagaries of travel within the country, there is a pressure to plan further in advance than in normal travel situations.  So book early to secure your place.
For more information and application, contact Marjorie Pravden:  321-729-8800 or cubagallery@gmail.com.   OFAC People-to-People License #CT-2012296579-1

ART AND ANTIQUE STUDI0 & GALLERY EAU GALLIE ART WALK PRESENTS LUCILLE MORSE BRONZE SCULPTURES & ICONS




The creative bronze pieces and beautiful icons are a result of Lucille’s early start with creativity.  Right from the start-she was happiest when she brought into play her imagination and began creating “objects”.  Her thought-provoking bronze sculptures and paintings are refreshing objects to everyone.  They leave you with the feeling of, “how can they be so grounded, but beautiful to the touch."  Her objective is to create beauty through form and balance which invites the viewer to touch and move about her sculptures. 
   
Lucille has a number of Icons included in the Museum of Russian Icons in Clinton, MA, served as Art Director for the Aurora, CO “Master Pieces” city-wide community art project involving several hundred people, and she founded and owned the AMP Fine Art Gallery in Colorado which featured and promoted local Artists, Musicians, and Poets (AMP).  Lucille has also worked as an artist/instructor with a broad spectrum of people including gifted children, Alzheimer’s patients, special needs adults, and dyslexic students. Morse is currently working through the Charles Bargue Drawing Course with a personal goal of increasing her ability to express her creative ideas with more intensity.  Morse earned a BFA from Metropolitan State College, CO and has exhibited her work locally and nationally in several juried art shows.
