THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMART EXHIBITION, FIJI, 2009

"With the intention of supporting the Florence Biennale 2009 only registered Fiji artist Mrs. Jane Borg, and helping other artists to achieve the goal to participate in future international exhibition. Tokani Arts Agency wants to create more awareness of the arts in Fiji. Tokani thought of organizing an International Event that will promote Fiji and attract a new group of Tourists interested into Fine Arts. We believe that this event can become a Biennale like in many other countries. Exposing Fiji’s artists with Inter- national artists will allow for great inter cultural exchange in building relationships and contacts with various countries at once. We believe this event will really be quite exceptional in this wonderful Island of the Pacific." - Tokani’s Executive Director Claire Diane Giraldeau - •••••

They represent his personality, however he encompasses his long life experiences into creating beautiful art works. ..."   - Claudia Pean for Tokani Art Agency, Fiji Islands - ••••• www.tokaniarts.org/exhibitions/international-artists/ •••••
