Why "The Art That Unites" Exhibit for Europe Day

Why "The Art That Unites" Exhibit for Europe Day

In the last four years, since I moved to America, I have met some great Romanian born artists living in the Unites States. This year I felt that is even more important to bring together artists to celebrate the annual Europe Day and its already traditional European Union Open House. This is the day when the European Union countries open their Embassies to the public. All the people that want to learn more about these countries are encouraged to visit. And so our exhibit will be in the heart of all these happenings. We will celebrate together unity, the achievements of Romanian Americans in a competitive world that strives for unity in its diversity. This is also my way of celebrating being an European.
