The Inauguration of new art exhibit ‘Mujer Enamorada!’

This post is also available in:

Last Thursday the 24th of March, with the opening of new art exhibit ‘Mujer Enamorada’, the Casa de Campo community was thrilled to discover 7 talented female artists, many of whom have been living in Casa de Campo and La Romana for years and we had no idea they were artists! 

The 7 exhibiting artists are: Ónice Mejía, América Olivo, Olivette Santoni, Miguelina Rivera, Sara Martínez, Rafaela Luna and Ivonne Vélez Cordero and each one of these lovely ladies contribute a small selection of pieces each to create a truly unique and unusually varied exhibit.

Taking part in the exhibit is ex-Abraham Lincoln School teacher, mother and Casa de Campo villa owner Malele Strofer, whom surprised us all with a very interesting collection of colorful sketches.

Whilst the majority of exhibited pieces are paintings and sketches, América Olivo is exhibiting some fascinating 3-Dimensional pieces; some made from wax, another resembling a giant pin cushion and most interesting of all – one which was created from the discarded toys of her children.

Also taking part in the exhibit are 2 giant bird cages and 2 tiny yellow birds! These bird cages are fantastic, sculpted with thick metal wire into the shapes of a pregnant lady and man.

The gallery  is open everyday (except Tuesdays), from 9am – 6pm and and this exhibit will be open until April the 25th.

Here are my photos of the opening evening – as you can see I didn’t manage to take many photos of the actual art, there was just so many people I got distracted talking! However, I have more photos of the art and the opening – coming soon!
