Sea Horse Ranch Travel & News, March 2017
Cultural Exhibit – Casa de Arte de Sosua
An art exhibition of the works of painter Salomón Santos is currently on view at the cultural center of Sosúa, Casa de Arte. The exhibition is free and open to the public, and is on display until April 7, 2017.
The exhibit consists of paintings of the sea life of Sosúa Bay. Salomón Santos, a native of Sosúa, depicts the colorful underwater world of corals, fish, crabs and lobsters. His work also chronicles the life of local children, fisherman, and addresses the environmental concerns of pollution in the ocean. He is concerned with plastic that carelessly makes its way into our rivers, and ultimately the ocean.
The official opening was held February 23, and attended by artist Salomón Santos, Casa de Arte Director Adolfo Faringthon, Secretary Yuni Mari Rosario Hernández, and prominent Sosúa residents, colleagues and family of the artist.
Casa de Arte is located #1 Pedro Clisante Street, at the entrance to Sosúa Bay. Telephone: (809) 571-2442.

Dominican Fashion Models on the Rise
The Dominican Republic has been hailed ‘the new Brazil’ thanks to its growing reputation as a wellspring for beautiful models. Like most of Latin America, the Dominican Republic is made up of a diverse racial mix.
Clearly, the rise of Dominicans connects with the broader conversation on diversity currently taking place in fashion. But for many insiders, it goes beyond physicality altogether. “Today [a model’s look] is appreciated with a more intelligent view, where other values, qualities and personalities are taken into account,” says Pamela Ocampo, editor-in-chief of L'Officiel Mexico.
Nearly 20 brands hired Dominican models at the Autumn/Winter 2017 shows, including big hitters like Marc Jacobs, Burberry and Prada. So if they seemed everywhere, it is because they were.
The Dominican model moment also represents a wider Latin American movement which, aside from Brazil, includes Argentinians, Puerto-Ricans and Mexican models, according to Ocampo. Designers are more open-minded about beauty and aware that women of various backgrounds are buying their products.
The presence of Dominican women in fashion indicates the industry is realizing the importance of diverse cultural balance in imagery. Viva la Republica Dominicana!
