FUNDACION ETERNO
Arte Contemporaneo. Fundacion Eterno is a contemporary art foundation established in 1996 and re established in 2003. The foundation purpose is to make contemporary art visible national and international. A main project was Eterno Studio Gallery, J.G. Emanstrtraat 92, Oranjestad Aruba. The first Contemporary Art gallery, an alternative space in centrum of Oranjestad, from (1994-2002). Founded and financed by contemporary artist Osaira Muyale and with generous support of cultural National and International foundations and prestigious institutions. Directed by Osaira Muyale and Renwick Heronimo and in collaboration with local contemporary artists, art curators and art lovers. Studio Galleria Eterno was conceived to host contemporary art and artists on the island of Aruba and within the greater Dutch Antilles region. From the moment of its inception, Studio Eterno served as a significant link between the local and international artists. Eterno has filled a tremendous cultural gap between the island and Europe. It served as an alternative contemporary art center for the artwork to be presented without censorship. Studio Eterno supported and nourished artistic freedom, imagination and innovation. Strategic Objectives in its 8-year history. In the dawn of a new century, Eterno is well known within the region and was continuously being recognized in the international art scene. Currently, the future advancement and cultural development of the island rests greatly on the shoulders of those artists living, teaching and working on the island. After all, a society is known and appreciated most by its progress in the arts and culture. The Gallery’s efforts have enriched the lives of those artists in Aruba and touched the lives of many. The presence of an art entity such as Eterno had endorsed Aruba’s commitment to the contemporary arts and cultural development and placed Aruba within a distinct group of destinations. Eterno has proven its value, validity and authority on the contemporary arts in Aruba. For years it provided a space for statement. This cannot be measured in a simply way, it can only be supported. After all, a society that supports its creators and innovators is a one that is destined to advance and succeed as a whole. As a result, the working artists of the island took the initiative in creating Eterno Contemporary Arts in 1993 to serve as a venue for exhibiting contemporary visual and performance arts by local and international artists. During the last 8 years, Eterno functioned as a pillar for the artists to lean on and an immense resource for art historians, art critics for research and for the general public to learn about the arts. In a sense, Eterno became an irreplaceable motif of the cultural mosaic of the island. At Eterno, the new ideas were nurtured. The artists that have exhibited at the space have shown their works in international biennials and in solo and group exhibitions. In the year 2000, Eterno held a symposium for 4 days during which two different international curators and museum administrators were invited to hold lectures and workshops. During open discussions, the subject matter ranged from architecture and contemporary art museum.
