Mano a Mano brings together two Latino artists for a friendly challenge to create a piece of art of a chosen theme. Fort this Mano a Mano, Freddy and Alice have chosen "Abstract Latino Fruits" as theme and promise to have lots of color and work in really big canvasses. One of the goals of Mano a Mano is to provide members of the
community with the chance to experience first-hand the magic of artistic
creation by Latino artist.
Mano a Mano belongs to Palmetto Luna Arts' ongoing project Arts
in Motion. Arts in Motion is aimed to present Latino artistic and cultural
activities in public spaces across the state. The initiative includes
performances and participation from artists in several areas including music,
dancing, street performance, painting, and poetry reading.
Palmetto Luna Arts’ mission is to foster an understanding of the Hispanic/Latino culture by promoting artistic creation and providing opportunities for cultural expression for the community in South Carolina.
