[From "The reason of our existence"] The Omnilife Cultural Foundation was created with a mission to promote artistic creation in Mexico and its diffusion within Mexico and abroad. To this end, the Foundation has participated in various artistic and cultural projects, including the construction of an exhibition space. One of the Foundation's projects is the "Salon de Octubre-Gran Premio Omnilife", in its present version for the year 2000. This catalogue reflects a year of work for the artists as well as for the National Council for Culture and the Arts through the National Fine Arts Institute, and the board of trustees of the state of Jalisco's "Fiestas de Octubre". It is also represents the on-going support and confidence of the project's sponsors, Nice de Mexico and Grupo Omnilife. On the following pages you will find a multiplicity of schools and visions, from the traditional to the vanguard, a search for new techniques and a resurgence of those already established, and diversity in the use of materials that some might even consider outside the scope of artistic creation. This year's Salon includes a competition for art installation. This addition is part of the process of inclusion which is a founding principle of the project. Also for the first time, works will travel to various cultural centers and art galleries throughout Mexico in the coming year.
