Art beyond the Frame

There is an exhibition of contemporary Cuban Art at The Lighthouse in Mitchell Lane, in Glasgow's city centre from 7th - 13th May 2012.

Today, I dropped in to look round the artworks and was very impressed with the collection on display. The paintings are on sale and proceeds go to support the human rights campaign of the Miami Five.

Two of the Miami Five are exhibiting works created while in prison. One of the Five says, "I would like to thank all our friends at the Cuba Solidarity Campaign and particulary those involved in the Beyond the Frame exhibition. Your support continues to be an important source of encouragement to continue our struggle for justice". 


I bought a catalogue of 46 artworks and offered my support for partnership working between artists in Scotland and Cuba. Glasgow and Havana have a twinning agreement and this provides  opportunities to generate further interest in the arts within both cities.
