ACROARTE to Debate Television of Today and Yesterday with Well-Known Media Professionals

Members of the Association of Feature Writers and Art Critics, along with three professionals versed in this area, will analyze the various aspects of current and past trends in Dominican television. They will discuss the country´s long and cutting-edge tradition of broadcast TV when they participate in the round table discussion, “Dominican Television: Its Contents and Its Challenges.” 

“TV in the Dominican Republic, a Great Challenge,” will be analyzed by the master of the spoken word, Yaqui Núñez del Risco. Fernando Hasbún, television producer, will talk about the “challenges of informational and news television.”  The authoritative Anita Ontiveros, will participate with her speech, “A Look at Television from Yesterday and Today.”

This discussion will take place on Thursday October 18 in the Cultural Hall of the Eduardo Brito National Theater starting at 7:00 PM. This event is part of a series organized by the current leadership of ACROARTE, headed by its president Marivell Contreras, in an attempt to involve members of the organization in all areas of art.

“It is important that all of us in ACROARTE have a basic knowledge of television, theater, song, and music in that we are the ones who evaluate the various artistic endeavors that go on in the country. It is only logical and fair that we know who we nominate and who we award prizes to,” Contreras said.

In the coming weeks, ACROARTE will announce the next educational activity to be coordinated by its president along with its secretary of education and culture, Mr. Arismendy Vásquez Guareño
