WAO Gallery and Cultural Center by PBO
The WAO (We Are One) Gallery and Cultural Center brings art, culture, and visual creativity to the heart of Altos de Chavón, returning our beloved village to its origins as an artist village.
The carefully curated art exhibits by some of the most relevant figures in the international art scene, combined with innovative activities by daring visual creators and cultural activities such as movie screenings, talks, and open sessions with artists and visual innovators, seek to foster appreciation and love for art, culture, and innovation within our local and international community.

This collection will be up until April 17th and includes emotive photographs by camera artists Bryan de la Cruz, Quennie Paniagua, Ariel Skelly y Omar Kuret.
