The Centro Cultural Leon is celebrating 6 successful years promoting Dominican culture in the country. For the celebrations, in recent weeks a discussion with the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) was held, and this week a special exhibition in coordination with the Louvre is coordinated. In time for the 6th anniversary celebrations, the Centro Leon is showing the traveling exhibit, "Merengue, Visual Rhythms" that has toured seven cities in the US. The international promotion work of the Centro Leon was recently commended by the Santiago Chamber of Commerce that awarded it a diploma during its ExpoCibao 2009 trade exhibit: "Centro Leon - principal effort to export Dominican culture".
"It is the first time that a business organization distinguishes a cultural institution for working for our culture so that it can be valued as an exportable asset, to attract foreign investment, stimulate the tourism industry, a leading factor in the creation of the country brand. That is, culture opens the roads to export," says the institution.
