San Juan del Sur’s Community Art Gallery to Reopen
August 25, 2009
Galeria del Sur, the local art gallery operated by the Jean Brugger Foundation will be re-opening on Sept 5, featuring an art exhibit by German Sandino Perez and a gala reception at the gallery at 7pm.
German is a graduate of the Foundation’s student support program and an active member of both the arts world and the world of politics in and around San Juan del Sur. He is entitling this show “Impressions on Canvas”. You can expect bright bold splashes of colour in Sandino Perez’s still lifes and landscapes.
Galeria del Sur first opened with the generous support of the Quinn family of Colorado in August 2007. After a very successful first season, the Galeria was forced to close it’s doors last winter due to extensive termite damage to the building. For more information see: www.galeriadelsur.org

Matty’s last ‘farewell concert’ in May (before he managed a 2 month return to our town) was a great party and no doubt this one will be as well. “The Irish House Bar” is located 1 block north of the Market.

The World is Watching
July 27, 2009On Tuesday July 28 at 7:30pm, Buena Vida Fitness Centre in San Juan del Sur will screen the English version of “The World is Watching” for their Documentary Film Night.
“The world is watching” focuses on several journalists working in Nicaragua during the negotiations surrounding the Arias Peace Plan in November 1987. It examines how the news business works, revealing the inevitable distortions that become part of the process. This film was directed by award winning Canadian film maker, Peter Rammont and was the winner of many international awards.
Last week, Buena Vida showed another film by Rammont to a sell-out crowd of over 30 as well as the Spanish version of The World is Watching. Due to technical difficulties last week the English track was not working on the film, so it will be screened this week in English. Next week they plan on showing the follow-up film “The World Stopped Watching“.
This is an unique opportunity to see these two historic and highly important films. Admission is Free.
