A great event was organized in 2009. Esteemed artists from all over the world were brought together by UNESCO and were featured in the 6th International Euromericana Exhibition organized in the magical city of Campeche in the Yucatan Peninsula. This exhibition was an artistic meeting and a cultural unification.

Yeşilnil received the International Mastery Award for this work. Painter and jazz musician Ayşegül Yeşilnil is a member of the UNESCO/ AIAP-UPSD. Yeşilnil suggested to the participants of UNESCO – Campeche exhibition this year. She expressed her dream of opening an online exhibition with the same artists.
