Kelly Stalsburg '14 of Old Saybrook, CT was one of a group of Eastern undergraduate art students who traveled to Cuba to study Cuban and Latin American art. Stalsburg is majoring in Pre-Elementary Education.

From May 19-29, 12 Eastern students accompanied Art Professor Gail Gelburd on a global field course to Cuba. They went to the 11th Havana Biennale Festival, visited artists in the city, toured museums, art galleries and art schools, and also journeyed to Cienfuegos where they swam in the Bay of Pigs. The festival happens once every three years in the streets of Havana. Other highlights included visiting the home of Ernest Hemingway, as well as visiting the homes and studios of some of today's most important contemporary artists.
