Hi: Can anyone suggest names of art galleries in the capital? If you have suggestions of names of artists - that would be good.

It really depends what you like. Here are a few I can think of:

IRIS PEREZ
Iris has a gallery on Parque Col?n in the Colonial Zone, the grandly named Laboratorio Evolutivo de Arte Contemporaneo with works by other artists as well as her own.

Antonio Guadalupe - Inicio - Antonio Guadalupe - modern folk influenced art.

raquel paiewonsky - very cutting edge, twice-winner of the Leon Jimenes art prize. Her work and that of other young artists can be viewed at:
LyleOreitzel

Arte San Ram?n on Avenida Lincoln - a variety of high quality artwork and photography.

Arawak, Arawak Arte Contemporaneo - Arte en Santo Domingo - Republica Dominicana - Artes Plasticas

Casa de Teatro on Arz Meri?o esq Portes in the Colonial Zone holds regular exhibitions, also the Centro Cultural de Espa?a nearby.

I bought a Kutty Reyes the last year before we left the island. You might want to look at his work, I know he has some for sell in online sites - not sure about where his work would sell in the DR. I bought mine after he painted it during the day as a demonstration piece for the students at the school where I was teaching so I was able to get a photo of him with the painting and my kids which was nice.

Good luck on finding a piece of art to enrich your life.

I like the works of Candido Bido - he had an art gallery south of the national palace in Gazcue, Santo Domingo and I assume that this is still open.

His paintings are beyond my price range but there are many prints etc avialble.
