The opening of âThe Galleriaâ at Harbor House in Weststraat took place recently. âThe Galleriaâ is an initiative by Harbor House and Pering Group to support our local artists by offering each artist a pop-up galleria to exhibit their art to visitors as well as the community of Aruba. During the opening Sr. Alberto Perret-Gentil CEO of Pering Group, explained that the vision of Pering Group is to contribute to Weststraat and Werfstraat as an art destination to attract tourists and locals back into the downtown of Oranjestad. This vision is based on the ideology of âOrange Economyâ as an additional support to the âBlue Economyâ in this specific area.
The purpose of âOrange Economyâ is to stimulate the economy based on creative activities with cultural and artistic content.
The artists who will be exhibiting their art during the first season of âThe Galleriaâ is Armando Goedgedrag, Cado de Lannoy, Suelyn Dankerlui, The Art Spot by Nicole & Marie, Luque Juan, Federico Cabello, Rudyomar Leysner and Erika Moran. Each artist explains a little bit about their work and expressed their gratitude towards receiving this opportunity that in one way or another contributes to the revitalization of Oranjestad.
