The exposition ROSEA NOBO should be viewed as a bridge leading to the first biennale of contemporary Caribbean art on Aruba. The Biennale is scheduled to start in November 2011. Starting 2011 every two years, a Biennale on Contemporary Caribbean art will be presented to the public. This is a most exciting contemporary visual arts manifestation. The foundation hopes to reach a broad audience of all ages, art-lovers and art-lover-to-be. The exhibits will be all over the island. The aim is to educate on contemporary Caribbean art as well as to provide a platform for individual artists, their creativity and ideas. The Biennale strives to provide an international platform for innovative and challenging contemporary art, showcasing the work of more than 35 artists from the region.

In addition to presenting artwork and providing professional workshops, the Biennale is also meant to create a sense of community among the artists. As well as encourage appreciation for recent developments in the Caribbean art world. Fundacion Encuentro Prome Bienal di Aruba is privileged to host these biennale exhibitions on contemporary Caribbean art.
