Majorca Art Comes To New York

New Yorkers are in for a Spanish treat this January and February if they visit an art exhibition to celebrate the Balearic Island of Majorca's display at the Spanish Institute.

As well as promoting Spain's culture and language on an ongoing basis, the Institute generates extra publicity through an annual award, given to those who have promoted understanding between the US and Latin American countries, who predominantly speak Spanish.

Many cities and municipalities are looking for state of the art soundproofing products and procedures for soundproofing a public, private, or and even home shooting ranges.
