NEW YORK, April 21, 2010 —Art collectors Howard
and Patricia Farber announced today the
establishment of Fundación Cuba Avant-Garde,
an independent, private foundation created to
advocate, promote, and support broader
recognition and understanding of contemporary
Cuban art and culture worldwide.
”Fundación Cuba Avant-Garde is committed to
supporting US-based nonprofits and their
international partners, whose programming and
activities raise awareness of Cuban art and
culture," said Howard Farber. “There is
brilliant talent in all aspects of Cuban
culture—including dance, music, cinema,
literature, architecture, and the visual
arts—both on the island and internationally. Our
goal is to facilitate and bring needed attention
to this global creative output.”
In the current economic environment, Farber
noted, cultural organizations are faced with
tough financial decisions. “Through our
strategic giving, we’re looking to ensure that
programs that make a difference—artist
residencies and educational publications, for
instance—can still flourish.”
To help fulfill its mission of fostering broader
international recognition of Cuban art and
culture, Fundación Cuba Avant-Garde has
established the website Cuban Art News (www.cubanartnews.org).
Featuring a mix of original coverage, aggregated
content, and links, Cuban Art News offers news
and updates on Cuban art and cultural activities
worldwide. The website will cover art
exhibitions, film festivals, dance performances,
new books of interest, and other cultural
topics.
Fundación Cuba Avant-Garde’s founders, Howard
and Patricia Farber, have been actively involved
in international culture for the past 40 years,
both as art collectors and as patrons of the
performing arts. “We’re tremendously excited to
be taking this step in our evolving commitment
to contemporary Cuban art and culture,” said
Patricia Farber. “It is, in effect, a commitment
to art and culture worldwide, and the part that
Cuban artists of all disciplines can play in
that international dialogue.”
