The following brief summary of the activities
of our organization fairly represents the path that is being opened:
12)
We have also conducted marketing studies on several Argentine crafts
in Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and Toledo); France (Paris)
and the United States (New York and Denver);
13) We have participated
in international seminars, fairs and exhibits: Tenerife (Canary
Islands, Spain), Zaragoza (Spain) at the First World Crafts Summit,
and Cadiz (Spain);
14) We have organized
four Contemporary Argentine Silver Rooms at the last editions of
the Feria del Sol (Palais de Glace, National Culture Rooms);
15) We coordinated
four Seminars on Textiles, Musical Instruments, Silver and Toy making,
organized within the frame of the National Crafts Fair (Colón,
Entre Ríos);
16) We have given
lectures in the province of Buenos Aires (Capitán Sarmiento,
Haedo, Luján and Mar del Plata), Entre Ríos (Colón),
Buenos Aires (National Decorative Arts Museum and Argentine Automobile
Club) and Jujuy, at San Salvador de Jujuy;
17) Between 1989 and
1998, we uninterruptedly formed part of the Jury for the Spinning
Wheel Award, given at the National Crafts Fair in Colón (Entre
Ríos). We were again members of that Jury in 2002.
18) And, together
with “Eguiguren Arte de Hispanoamérica” —a
prestigious Argentine antiquarian— we have created an action
team, committed to the task of organizing different exhibits within
a cycle entitled “Arte y Tradición” (Art and
Tradition). To date, we have organized seven exhibits and we are
actively developing the next chapters.
As part of the inventory of accomplishments we
would like to mention that by the end of 1999 we realized that our
endeavor was no longer a project and decided to give it a new name,
more in accordance with its new rank: Manos Artesanas Comunicaciones.
