Dominican artists will be exhibited in the art collection of the Inter-American Development Bank
The IDB began its art collection three decades ago and, since then, has continued to acquire works that reflect the creative potential and the multicultural and ethnic diversity of the member countries of the Bank.
Works by Dominican artists Tony Capellán and Fernando Tamburini will be exhibited in the exhibition "Treasures of the Art Collection" of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), which will be exhibited for the first time in Washington from October 21 to 24, it was reported this Thursday.

The exhibition will be held at the Long View Gallery, one of the largest contemporary art galleries in Washington, according to a statement from the IDB.

The exhibition will consist of 60 works by artists from different countries in the region, including women, girls, indigenous peoples and Afro-descendants from various countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Among them are Dominican Tony Capellán, internationally recognized for his work as an engraver, painter, sculptor and draftsman, who will participate in the exhibition with his work "Signos de Arena."

Meanwhile, Dominican Fernando Tamburini, known for his abstract and colorful representations of Dominican culture and lifestyle, will present his work "Escape."

The IDB began its art collection three decades ago and, since then, has continued to acquire works that reflect the creative potential and multicultural and ethnic diversity of the Bank's member countries.

The pieces in the collection "are a reflection of the areas in which the institution works, such as reducing poverty and inequality, contributing to sustainable growth in the region and addressing climate change," the financial organization's statement said.

The objective of this exhibition "is to share with the community of Washington DC, and beyond, our most precious treasures and values, exposing the culture of Latin America and the Caribbean beyond our facilities," said Ilan Goldfajn, president of the IDB, in the note.
