Isabel C. F. DeBeary

Isabel will create a 10-week arts program at Casa de Venezuela for families to learn more about Venezuelan art and the relationship of Venezuelan artists to American artists. As a Venezuelan, Isabel understands the importance of learning about and passing on the language, culture and history of her native country. In an effort to do this more fully, the program will be taught entirely in Spanish. Each participant will create their own 16"x20" painting that will be exhibited around the city. By bringing families together to learn about their rich cultural heritage and learn new skills as artists, Isabel will create an environment in which people feel empowered and connected to each other and their culture.
