Professor Voluspa Jarpa was honored with the 2016 Award for Excellence in Artistic Creation. This recognition is given to her for her contribution to the development of the arts in Chile and its impact on society.

Jarpa, part of the generation of Chilean artists from the ’90s, along with Pablo Langlois and Nury González, has worked in painting, installations, and sculpture.
