America" will be extended through Saturday, February 21.
"Corporal" presents 13 artists from Argentina, Brazil, Chile,
Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador and Mexico. The exhibition, which is

Concurrently, the exhibition "Daniel

and Gonzalo Fonseca.
Both exhibitions are presented by
the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters School
of the Arts in collaboration with the Latin American
Studies program as part of "Voices and Images from Latin

Division of Cultural Affairs; Florida Arts Council and the
National Endowment for the Arts; Palm Beach County Cultural
Council; the Palm Beach Post; WXEL and FAU Student
government through student activity fees.
A final program during the
exhibitions is a bilingual reading of poetry and literature
by Latin American literary masters presented by graduate
and undergraduate students from FAU's Latin American
Studies Program on Wednesday, February 18 at 7 p.m. in the
