QCC at the United Nations

Faustino Quintanilla delivering an address at the United Nations

In late 2014, the QCC Art Gallery was the site of a major exhibition called Asian Art: Contemporary Views. It was curated by a talented Mongolian artist, Chaolun Baatar Tonglag.

Recently, an International Mongolian Contemporary Art Exhibition at the United Nations was held to celebrate the 55th anniversary of Mongolia's accession to full membership at the U.N.

Dignitaries included Sukhbold Sukhee, Ambassador Extraordinary and Permanent Representative of Mongolia to the United Nations, as well as our old friend Baatar and two other world-renowned Mongolian artists. Joining them was our own Executive Director of the QCC Art Gallery, Faustino Quintanilla, who delivered some congratulatory comments to all, while reaffirming his commitment to deepening the Gallery's future collaboration with the artists from this creative enclave of the East.
