The cultural exchange between sister cities Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands and Santa Cruz, California was launched in November, 2009. Part I of the exhibition series Cielo/Sky was shared by three Santa Cruz venues curated by digital media artist Miriam Durango from Tenerife, and organized by local curator and photographer Shelby Graham. The second part of the international exchange, curated by Shelby Graham of UCSC Sesnon Gallery, features work of Santa Cruz artists and UCSC faculty members exploring the same theme of sky. With this group of artists, the theme is applied environmentally, conceptually and metaphorically. The exhibitions of Cielo/Sky are components of the Septenio Celebration of the Canary Islands.
