Daniel Castelo, a professor at FADCOM–ESPOL, spent time as a visiting artist at Morehead State University in Kentucky, United States, from October 19 to 23, 2026. During his visit, he participated in “Prints & Perspectives: Three Days with Daniel Castelo,” a program organized by the university’s Department of Communication, Media, Art & Design, which included training activities, artistic exchange, and the presentation of his work.
On Tuesday, October 20, Castelo led a hands-on workshop on linocut printmaking from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in Room 201 of the Claypool-Young Building. The workshop was open to university students, who learned about the process of relief printing and explored the expressive possibilities of this technique. The following day, Wednesday, October 21, she delivered a lecture titled “Public Arts Administration in Ecuador” from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in Room 102 of Rader Hall. During the lecture, she shared her experiences and perspectives on the management of public art in the Ecuadorian context.
The program concluded on Thursday, October 22, with the opening reception for the “Destination New York” exhibition, held from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Golding-Yang Art Gallery, located in Room 218 of the Claypool-Young Building. The exhibition featured graphic works by Castelo and printmaking pieces created by students from Morehead State University. This collaboration fostered a space for artistic and academic exchange between the two institutions, where participants shared graphic production techniques, creative processes, and experiences related to cultural management and public art.
