INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY
About PAAP: Pan American Art Projects specializes in art of the Americas with the mission to build a bridge between North and South American cultures by presenting and exhibiting artists from both regions concurrently. We deal with emerging to established artists, as well as secondary market paintings, sculpture, and works on paper. In 1990, we started as Galerie Malraux in Los Angeles, California. The gallery focused mainly on Caribbean art, in specific, the art of Haiti and Jamaica. In 1994, the gallery moved to Dallas, Texas where both the focus and the name changed. This transition marks the beginning of Pan American Art Gallery, a dealer of Haitian, Jamaican and important Cuban works of the early Modernist period. The gallery opened a 4,500 square-foot commercial space in early 2003 in the upscale Turtle Creek area of Dallas. Since that time the gallery has expanded its reach into North America and works carefully to promote quality contemporary artists of distinction from the Western Hemisphere. In 2006, we modified our name, Pan American Art Projects, to reflect our expansion and evolution into a dynamic contemporary art venture. In December 2006, we opened a 4,500 square foot space in Miami, which features two exhibition rooms, a video box, sculpture garden, and an apartment with a studio for visiting artists.
