Under the patronage of H.E. Sheikh Nahyan Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research of the United Arab Emirates, the Embassy of the Dominican Republic and Abu Dhabi Music and Arts Foundation hosted an exhibition of paintings and photographs on the occasion of the commemoration of the 166th Anniversary of Independence of the Dominican Republic titled “Colors of the Dominican Republic.”
The opening reception was held on February 28, 2010 at Ghaf Art Gallery in Abu Dhabi and Clara Martinez-Thedy, the Ambassador of the Dominican Republic to the UAE, invited The Walkabout Foundation to screen its video of Haiti at the reception.
A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of the artworks by Ines Tolentino went to The Walkabout Foundation. The exhibition raised over $5,000 for Walkabout.
Thank you Clara for all your support!
