The event was held at the public hall of Los Mogotes in Villa Altagracia, the same place where collaborators and students carried out this beautiful community work.

Celeste Seligmann, president and founder of AAVA Dominicana, overjoyed by the end of a successful camp experience, told her guests, “I fell in love with this place the first time I visited. I got into it immediately, first with my art workshop and today with my house, the AAVA Maison.

“It was here that much of my artwork, shown in Europe and Santo Domingo, was created and where the spark of inspiration for the Foundation occurred.”
