Gidget goes to Malawi! Well, not our little Boston Terrier, per se, but a Coffee Art® painting of her. We have been asked by the United States Art in Embassies Program once again to loan our Coffee Art® to the embassy in Lilongwe, Malawi. This is the third time we have been involved with the AIEP. Ambassador Peter Bodde requested our Coffee Art® and he has a fondness of Boston Terriers, so this was the perfect fit.

Dear Andy and Angel:
On behalf of the Art in Embassies Program (AIEP) of the United States Department of State and Ambassador Peter Bodde, the U.S. Ambassador to Malawi, we thank you for generously agreeing to lend a painting for exhibition in the U.S. Embassy Residence in Lilongwe.
 
We thank you for your generosity.
Sincerely,

Robert T. Soppelsa, Senior Curator
Art in Embassies Program

We are honored to share our art with Ambassador Bodde. We hope that he enjoys the art!
