Dominican Artists To Paint Murals in Puerto Rico

 

The Dominican-Puerto Rican Foundation and the Doña Ruth Basallo Artistic and Environmental Movement is organizing a painting exhibition called “The Mural Routes” that will open on January 14th in five municipalities in Puerto Rico – San Germán, Lajas, Hormigueros, Guanica, Ponce, San Juan, Mayagüez as well as in the Inter-American University.

The Dominican artists include Juan Bravo, Roberto Flores, Yinelda Fernández, Francis Díaz, Heddy Santiago, Alexandro Payano, Federico Velásquez, Héctor Blanco, Sandy Candelario, Lorgio Núñez, Pedro Widdicombe and Wilfredo Tejada Rodríguez who will paint murals with environmental themes in public places. The murals will be permanent and also serve as a symbol of solidarity and brotherhood between the Dominican Public and Puerto Rico.

This activity is also meant to pay homage to Doña Ruth Basallo, the dedicated organizer of joint Dominican-Puerto Rican cultural activities and who, for the past 30 years, has directed many special artistic events in Puerto Rico.   










The mural-painting exhibition is part of various activities being carried out by the Dominican-Puerto Rican Foundation. In the Dominican Republic, journalist Fernando Peña presides over the foundation. Painter Juan Bravo, former union leader from Jarabacoa, Ramón Ureña Torres and Jacqueline Sierra are directors of the Doña Ruth Basallo Artistic and Environmental Movement.
