Art in Embassies and the American Embassy in Praia, Cape Verde recently collaborated on an Artist Exchange with artist Chris Flisher of Boxborough, who writes the “Oh My Stars” column and “Turning of The Wheel” blog for The Beacon. Flisher visited Cape Verde from July 8 to July 15 to conduct workshops and presentations at the invitation of U.S. Ambassador Adrienne O’Neal. Three of his paintings were selected for the current art exhibition at O’Neal’s residence. Flisher said, “This Artist Exchange in Cape Verde was a fantastic experience for me on every level….. The fact that I was able to work in the capacity of an artist enabled me to highlight and show that art—the message and the medium—are truly cross-cultural and pan-global. This is work and practice for all humanity. This is how we build unity and tolerance while breaking down borders and barriers. I have always wanted to take this message to the world as an ambassador of art, with the very positive message of cross-cultural themes and optimism.”
