U. S. Embassy Asmara Co-Sponsored Wood and Metal artifacts

Artist Robel explaining his works to the Ambassador

Robel Tesfay Wood and Metal exhibition “Asmarino’s Ingenuity” opened on Friday July 25, at The Gallery in Asmara. Robel described this show as the relationship between arts and nature. As his theme says, it displays the wise use of local resources.

This exhibition was partially sponsored by the Public Affairs Office of the U.S. Embassy Asmara. Mr. Matthew Smith, Acting Deputy Chief of Mission, U.S. Embassy on his speech greeted the crowd, congratulated and appreciated the young artist for his creative work. The U.S. Embassy frequently sponsors art exhibitions in order to motivate young Eritrean artists to promote the Eritrean art and culture.

The art exhibition will run through August 2, 2008.
