Mississauga, Ontario, Tuesday, June 21, 2005….The Living Arts Centre is proud to

present MOSAICO, a showcase of paintings, drawings, engravings, photography and

sculpture by the Mississauga membership of Fundarte Latinoamerica. This exhibition

runs from July 1 to August 21, 2005.

Fundarte Latinoamerica is a non-profit cultural organization dedicated to promoting the

artistic development of the Latin American community in Canada. The group was

founded to make the general public aware of the richness of the Latin American cultural

heritage and to help to integrate the Latin American community into the Canadian

mainstream, thereby enriching Canada's cultural mosaic. Fundarte promotes the

development of art through workshops, collective exhibitions and encouraging emerging

artists.

MOSAICO is a vibrant pictorial example of works that join together the passion and

inspiration of 15 local artists. These artists have an intense desire to actively create an

environment whereby fine arts can flourish - in all its diverse artistic expressions. Their

Latin American roots, experience and vision unite the artists. Together they produce an

artistic fusion that will lead to new ideas, creating stronger bonds within the Latin

American art community.
