Sponsors
We are very lucky to announce the acquisition via the alumni association of one very well known sponsor. In addition to a cash donation, The North Face will donate a number of North Face Osito jackets as door prizes to be awarded via sweepstakes held during the first hour of every night of the festival. The Osito jackets are for both men and women and are both fashionable and serviceable - they are incredibly warm and lightweight. Thank you North Face!

In 1961, three young, visionary architects were commissioned by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara to create Cuba's National Art Schools on the grounds of a former golf course in Havana, Cuba. Construction of their radical designs began immediately and the school's first classes soon followed. Dancers, musicians and artists from all over the country reveled in the beauty of the schools, but as the dream of the Revolution quickly became a reality, construction was abruptly halted and the architects and their designs were deemed irrelevant in the prevailing political climate. Forty years later the schools are in use, but remain unfinished and decaying. Castro has invited the exiled architects back to finish their unrealized dream. |
