EACH YEAR the Association of Ibero-American Cultural Attaches presents the "Ibero-American Art Salon" in the nation's capital. With 17 editions, the Association has successfully created a space to promote the cultural values of Ibero-America and the immense artistic diversity that depicts the essence of these countries by presenting exhibits using many different media: painting, etching, photography, cartoons, etc.
