FELIX BERROA IN THE OUTDOOR SHOWS ---FELIX BERROA EN LAS EXHIBICIONES AL AIRE LIBRE

In the United States, during more than fifty years are a new modality of exhibiting the fine arts, and every year get strongest: the "outdoor art shows". There are shows with not much reconocitions and there are famed and extremely demanding ones with a jury of acceptance. Among the three states (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut), the three shows most famed (exhibiting artists from all over the United States) are: "Friends of the North Castle Public Library", Armonk, New York; "Fine Arts Shows in Bruce Museum", Greenwich, connecticut; and "Merchants Association of Westport", Connecticut. One of the oldest outdoor shows is the "Washington Square Oudoor Exhibit", in the low Manhathan.

In Long Island, others with less fame than those first three, but with at lot of merits are: Artists association of Montauk, Westhampton Beach Chamber of Commerce, Gallery North in Setauklet,....

The characteristics of these exhibitions are that the artist can have a direct cintact with the collectors and genral public without any intermediary. The artist "learn" how to value and negociate his/her works without a second person need, breaking up with the myth that the artist should not be involved in the negotiation of his/her art.

Felix Berroa exhibit his works every year in fourteen of the best of these shows since 1997 (those mentioned).

En los Estados Unidos, desde hace mas de cincuenta anos hay una nueva modalidad de exhibir las Artes Plasticas, que cada vez toma mas fuerza (Hay miles de estos shows en todo los estados americano), los llamados "outdoor shows" o "exhibiciones al aire libre". Los hay desde los no muy reconocidos, hasta los extremadamente famosos y exigentes con un jurado de aceptacion. Entre los tres estados (New York, New Jewrsey y Connecticut), los de mas renombres son el de "Friends of the North Castle Public Library" en Armonk, New York; el de "Bruce Museum", en Greenwish, Connecticut; y el de la "Asociacion de Comerciantes" de Westport, en Connecticut. Un show que tienes mas de cuarenta años y en el que han pasado artistas de gran talla, es "Washington Square Outdoor Exhibit", celebrado en el centro del bajo Manhathan.

En Long Island, otros de menos relieves que esos tres, pero con mucho meritos son el de la "Asociacion de Artistas Plasticos" de Montauk; el de "Gallery North", Setauket, "Westhampton Beach Chamber of Commerce", Westhampton Beach,.......

Algunas de las caracteristicas de estas exhibiciones son: el artista tiene un contacto directo con los coleccionistas y publico en general sin intermediarios; el artista "aprende" a valorar y negociar sus trabajos sin la necesidad de una segunda persona, rompiendo con el mito de que el artista no debe estar envuelto en las negociaciones de su trabajos;.....

Felix Berroa exhibe sus trabajos en catorce de los mejores de estos shows (mencionados).

Actualmente, radicado en Atlanta, Georgia, ha aumentado la cantidad de estos shows entre 20 y 25 por anos.
