Remarks by the Consul General of the Republic of Indonesia in Chicago

The Consulate General of Indonesia of Chicago are proudly to welcome “US Artists Study Abroad 2011” program as a continuation of “St Louis Artists Study Abroad 2010″ organized by Art Dimension in collaboration with the Indonesian Consulate General in Chicago.

The delegation of eleven American artists were participated in the 2010 Study Abroad Program and visited many beautiful places in Indonesia for two weeks to get inspirations on Indonesia’s cultures. Their artworks had been displayed at the Blanco Renaissances Museum in Ubud, Bali and the National Museum in Jakarta along with the artworks of Indonesian famous artist, Mario Blanco. Beside the artworks, the American artists have learned the batik making at the Textile Museum in Jakarta.
The Consulate General of Indonesia in Chicago has been working closely with St. Louis Artists and Art Dimensions on arranging and creating the various cultural events to promote the cultural exchanges and friendship between the Republic of Indonesia and the United States of America. I really appreciate the support and collaboration between St. Louis Artists, Art Dimensions and the Indonesian Consulate. It is an important contribution on strengthening and improving the bilateral relations between Indonesia and the United States.
