INTERNATIONAL MURAL PAINTING CONFERENCE
Ancient Roots New Directions
Mexico City, May 16-18, 2006
The Diego Rivera Foundation, with the support of the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura (National Institute of Literature and Fine Arts) and of the Secretaría de Educación Pública (National Department of Public Education) and in collaboration with The Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, The Social and Public Art Resource Center, Arte Público Press and Mauer Kunst Consulting is organizing the International Mural Painting Conference, to be held in Mexico City on May 16 - 18, 2006.
Our main objective is to learn about the current mural painting situation in different parts of the world. We also want to know how many and which artists are involved in this art form and what would be the most suitable media to develop and strengthen this artistic activity at a world-wide level.
Therefore, we have taken into account that other international meetings have covered this artistic expression from different perspectives. We want to contribute to this effort by organizing the International Mural Painting Conference at which, through the open and must profound exchange of ideas and opinions, the conditions and problems in which this important artistic work is immersed can be analyzed and discussed.
The Conference will be the proper space to approach:
In order to achieve this objective, we want procure the presence and participation of artists, intellectuals, art critics, gallery curators and other people committed to the art world. Therefore, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the staging of this event.
