This relatively new modern art museum
in San Salvador features recent and past works by El Salvadoran artists, as
well as rotating focused exhibits from artists around the world. It has a nice restaurant, is centrally
located, and is a great place to go when you’re looking for inspiration or just
to get out of the heat.
MARTE offers programs for kids and
special events for the community. I was recently able to attend MARTE’s five series workshop on
Contemporary Art led by Rodolfo Francisco Molina, Salvadoreñan artist and
curator. How fun to take the time
to immerse myself in art and its more recent story. I especially enjoyed being exposed to all the amazing
artwork that has been created in Central America in the last 25 years. http://www.marte.org.sv/

Recientemente, pude asistir un taller de arte contemporaneo dirigida por
Rodolfo Francisco Molina, artista y curador salvadoreño. Que maravilla tomar tiempo a sumergirme
en el mundo del arte contemporaneo.
Fue una gozada, especialmente a ver arte desde los ultimos 25 años creado
en la region centroamericana.
