After one year of planning and working hard, on October 18th 2008 the dreams of Maria Fernanda Gonzalez and Lucrecia Sarmiento became truth. Arte&Danza was prepared to show all the magic about the Arabian and Spanish culture with respect and good intentions. This international event had the privilege to offer a huge number of activities like exhibitions of paintings, photographies, art, the abilities of dancers and musicians in the ‘Torres de Manantiales’ Hotel.
During the day, more than 200 people from Chile, Uruguay, Brazil and differents states of Argentina enjoyed the intensive workshop with the most important teachers in arabian and spanish music and dance.
At the same time, in another room from the Hotel, the artists offered conferences and exhibitions. Ambassadors from differents arabian countries and Spain supported the event like local politicians and cultural institutions. The paintings were from Mansour Hanna and Ricardo Panizza, the pictures were from Gabriela Alais and Pilar Sarmiento.
The event ended with an extraordinary final show with more than 20 artists on the stage like Seyyal (Chile), Georgina Distaso, Paula Lena, Hernán Soleiman and the Ruh Lubnaniah Ballet, Pablo Acosta, Yamil Annum, Romina Maluf, Nabil Aldawish and Orchestra, Kalahary Group, Hugo Salvatierra and the Triana Ballet, and Samar Sgaibe.
The magic reigned throughout the day and inspired the audience. In addition, with the entry they collaborated with Mary's Home (www.hogardemaria.org.ar), an institution which the organizers of Arte & Danza decided to help.
