Art Gallery of the Public Library. Portland. Maine. It is a pleasure to introduce the General Plan of the VIII edition of the INTERCONTINENTAL BIENNIAL OF INDIGENOUS ART, to be held in the United States during the months of August – September 2020. This pamphlet includes the suggestions made in the last few weeks by those who are part of the Organizing Committee, as well as artist, patrons and team members. We are sharing it in a close network, in order to offer a perspective on the effective execution of the plan. This document will be the basis for the development of the General Catalog of Participants, to be presented during the Awards and Closing Ceremony. Guest artists will participate as PROGRAM RESIDENTS. They will present their Artwork in planned 3 exhibitions and will be teachers of the workshops, or coordinate specific areas, as organized during the pre-production phase carried out in the last four months during our visit to the United States, Peru, and Ecuador. To both spaces (art exhibitions and workshops), we have invited local colleagues to join us to make up a stronger team and a rich art exhibition. Likewise, our invitation is open to art lovers, groups, organizations, public or private institutions to support us. As part of this collective effort, we feel honored to present a very special display on Native American Art, as an homage to the Host, hence we invite the local community authorities to support us, spreading this call among artists of the Indigenous Artist to participate through the submission of works. We think that the communitarian authority is welcome to play a leading role in this process. We thank the team for the professionalism they have shown during the pre-production phase. Their contributions have been key to the completion of this plan. For now, on we are open to any idea that improves or complements the contents of this General Plan.
