The Santo Domingo Association of Art Galleries (AGA) presents the annual Circuit of Galleries from August to December. Member art galleries, including most of the country’s most prestigious, join forces to organize evening events and encourage Dominicans and visitors alike to drop by. Mildred Canahuate of Galeria de Arte Arawak says that starting Thursday, 18 August, a selection of leading art galleries will stay open until 10:30pm every third Thursday in the month. This year around 100 exhibitions are planned, with artists like Ramon Oviedo and Cuban Leticia Sanchez Toledo. There will be performances, video-art, music and live shows. <\/p>\n
Juan Jose Mesa, owner of the Mesa Fine Art Gallery, says that the event is open to everyone, even people with no intention of buying art. “If later they are bitten by the art collecting bug, that would be wonderful,” he comments, as reported in Listin Diario. He stresses that art has no social class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
