Latin American Culture Fest
Come enjoy an ALL NEW lineup of experiences!
Saturday, October 20
Rotunda
Latin American Market and Art Place
Browse and shop for authentic Latin American goods while taking in breathtaking baroca art from Cuban artists. Baracoa’s modern artistic movement began in the 1960s when artists trained in Havana returned to this remote city. Not until the first road was built in 1962 could Baracoa, the oldest city in Cuba, be reached by land. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Cuba entered the "Special Period" in the 1990s. The scarcity of art supplies forced the artists to experiment with unconventional media, natural pigments, and scrap materials. Their innovations have attracted international markets and exhibitions.
