Feriarte 2003, the Dominican arts & crafts expo, is now open at the Hotel Melia’s Gran Salon on Santo Domingo’s Malecon. It will run until Sunday 28 September from 10am to 10pm and admission is free. The exhibition is sponsored by the Santo Domingo Chamber of Commerce and is a great place to purchase Dominican-made arts and crafts and get an idea of local artisanal items.
