ALS art exhibit 1991 Marta Vidal

This week Carol Burke has provided us with a fantastic collection of photos from the Altos de Chavon Art Gallery, taken in 1991.

If you look very carefully at the photos you may spot someone you know – looking very different to how they look now of course!!

The artists-in-residence at the Altos School of Design had an annual art show at the Galleria. Carla Golembe is a well known artist who was an artist-in-residence at the Altos School of Design. This photo is from her Sleeping Woman series.

The name of the work is Amanecer or Dawn

The students from Abraham Lincoln School also held an annual exhibit at the Galleria and sometimes presented ballets and plays in the amphitheater.

The header photo was taken in 1991 at the Abraham Lincoln School Art exhibit and on the left of the photo is a very well known Casa de Campo lady – if you work out who it is leave a comment below!
