Anacaonas de Borinquen (Online)

Despite the challenging and uncertain time the world is experiencing at the moment, CMCArts remains dedicated to the annual tradition of celebrating the friendship between the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico by assembling this online exhibition honoring the Puerto Rican Boricua woman and how artists depict and honor her.
The collection of 75 masterworks are part of a traveling exhibition that includes artists such as Emeli Vando, Alberto Ortiz Collazo, Lillian Colon, Antonio Maldonado, and Torres Soto. The art collection’s permanent home is the Labiosa Center for the Arts. Gallery W. Labiosa was the oldest gallery in Puerto Rico with over 50 years of existence; established by one of Puerto Rico’s renowned artists, the late Wilfred Labiosa, father of the exhibition curator, and widely recognized for his old San Juan Scenery, graphic and textile designs, and artwork.   Many of the artists in this exhibition were his formative instructors and his own students alike. Ten of Wilfred Labiosa’s own artworks are presented in their own dedicated gallery called “Homage to Women.”
