Last Tuesday 27th of December, the”Arte Naive” art exhibit and cocktail hosted at the “Jenny Polanco Project” store in aid of the Hogar del Niño, was celebrated in the Marina Casa de Campo, with the attendance and support of many Casa de Campo villa owners, residents and visitors.

The ‘Jenny Polanco Project’ store with it’s commitment to local artesian artists was the perfect place to host “Arte Naive”, a spectacular exhibit of jewelry, paintings and sculptures, all hand-made by local Dominican and Haitian artists, reflecting Dominican and Haitian traditions, culture, history and religious beliefs. The event held between 5pm and 9pm, welcomed many guests, who enjoyed a welcome cocktail with Dominican rum, as well as traditional music from both countries, whilst they admired and purchased these artistic creations and shared some quality time with other guests.

What is Arte Naive?

“Arte Naïve” is one of the most intense and naive expressions of art in which the artist expresses their most heart felt experiences and realities, a raw, real-life artists expression if you like. This artesanal exhibition included splendid art work from Dominican artists, such as José Levy, Adalberto Noble, Thomás López , Tulio Quirico and Haitian artists such as Magda Maglorrie, Gerald Fortune, Payas, among others. The “Arte Naive” art exhibit and cocktail, organized by Jenny Polanco in aid of the Hogar del Niño, was developed in the style of the Café de la Leche event – so that many guests contributed with tins of milk for the more than 200 babies, cared for daily at the Hogar del Niño.
