ABOUT FGM-NY
The Fleiss - Giacummo - McAvoy NY Contemporary Art Symposium 2013 brings art professionals from around the world together to form new networks, foster international connections, develop cross-cultural understanding, and cultivate cooperation.  This program is inspired by D. Fleiss & East West Artists International (DFEWA), whose mission is to establish a working cooperation that will encourage and improve the cultural exchange between outstanding artists of varying backgrounds from eastern and western countries. Artists who participate in the symposiums located throughout the Eastern and Western Hemispheres create a broader understanding of the contemporary arts in their respective communities around the world. Artists will be provided housing, studio space, all meals, trips to cultural centers, and selected artist supplies at no cost to them. Lifting these financial burdens for the artists provides them the opportunity to explore their creativity with themselves and others.
