Lawrence Kinney and wife artist Mary Ouimette-Kinney were invited by the International Institute, of the U.S. State Department, to speak about their art to visitors from the country of Angola. Mr. António Ana, Angola's most decorated sculptor, and Mr. Patrício Cipriano, an art critic and philosopher, plan to open an art school/gallery in Angola, as part of a political movement called Etonism, or tolerant reasoning. A formal visit was held on Friday, May 30, 2008, at the Kinney's home gallery, where the artists selected two of Mary Ouimette-Kinney's signed prints to bring back to Angola. The visit then continued at Artpark (Lewiston, NY), where Lawrence Kinney's sculpture is on exhibit until September 15, 2008. Dialogue between the artists continues with future plans to be announced. Photos of the official visit and the signed prints to be posted soon.
Lawrence Kinney received the Grand Prize at the June 3, 2008 opening of the first annual Edges Outdoor Sculpture Competition, sponsored by Artpark, for his sculpture, "Spalted Device".
