Public Affairs Councilor Christy Watkins expressed her amazement over the exhibition. "I have been impressed with the art seen in Kuwait, especially in the current exhibition. I was really pleased to see female artists from around the region practice the freedom of expression; women being able to give their perspective in a variety of ways in different mediums of arts," she said.
"The US Embassy is always interested in art in Kuwait, learning about it, and perceptions and ideas from artists, in addition to sharing American art expertise. Therefore, we welcome the opportunity to be able to bring a visiting American artist and have an exhibition, so we can have a partnership with Kuwaiti artists as well," Watkins said.
