Twelve Glowing Years – 2024.04.18

The Rui Cunha Foundation opens today, Thursday, April 18th at 6:30pm, the Collective Art Exhibition “Twelve Glowing Years”, to celebrate the 12th Anniversary of this non-profit organization, established on April 28, 2012.

With an underlying mission to support and propel Macau’s cultural and creative production since its beginning, FRC has planned and executed over 1,600 events across various areas throughout the past 12 years, providing a platform for cultural exchange and educational enrichment, in a place that has gradually been earning the attention and respect of both local and regional communities, public and private entities.

To celebrate this historical milestone, and the many achievements of Rui Cunha Foundation, more than 50 artists were invited who had over the years exhibited their art at the Gallery, featuring diverse genres and materials such as painting, calligraphy, seal engraving, sculpture, photography, mixed media, and new artistic media.

The theme, free and inclusive of all styles, was interpreted by many as the consecration of a complete 12-year cycle filled with activities that cheered the territory’s multiculturalism. Therefore, some influence of the Chinese zodiac wheel of signs is shown in the works here represented, as if the little Dragon had finally returned home, more impressive and determined to conquer all future endeavors.

FRC would like to take this opportunity to extend its most sincere gratitude to the artists who contributed with great enthusiasm to brighten this initiative with their artistic creations. A special heartfelt appreciation is also due to the associations and institutions that have supported our vision and effort since the beginning. Last, but not least, we most earnestly thank the public in general, for their continuous and unconditional support throughout this great journey.
