Puerto Rican painters who want to support this record setting event are invited to contact the organizers as soon as possible. Get the details!

He invited Puerto Rican artists and artists from the US Virgin Islands to exhibit in March 2009 in the Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts in Frederiksted, St. Croix (USVI).
