Here is the latest nutshell of news about the upcoming trips to Cuba for writers and others folks in the arts:
2011 Writers, Artists, and Filmmakers Research Delegations to Cuba!

Groups of writers, visual artists, filmmakers, educators, others, will be going to Cuba, February 12-20, and early April 2011, exact dates to be determined. The February trip will intersect with the International Book Fair in Havana, and includes a visit to nearby Matanzas, with its thriving arts scene, and Varadero Beach.
The April trip will intersect with Cuba’s “Sundance”—the Festival of Poor Cinema; we visit Holguin; Santiago de Cuba; Havana.
