UNWG Art Exhibitions in OMPI, Mezzanine from Monday 9th until Friday 27th January 2012 (included) |
|
We had 29 women from the UNWG who participated and put their art work on display at the WIPO. The artists are a diverse group of women from different parts of the world representing Asia, Africa, Europe and America. The work included a variety of arts including painting (e.g. water color, oil painting, acrylic, photograph , sculptures, and patchwork). We very much appreciate that the WIPO hosts our art exhibition every year in this marvelous building and provides their facis.

Which is the answer to people who are commenting : Switzerland ? Oh yes, cows, chocolate, cheese, banks and watches ! Yet, forgetting the clichés, which are the skills of Swiss people ? How did they face the crisis of the Swiss watch industry ? Do we know that for three consecutive years Switzerland came first, worldwide for research ? In which fields ? Come to learn and to share your exprerience. Organisation : three seminars of one and half hour, the first one will take place in the Villa, on February 16th, at 02.30pm.
