The Direccion General de Bellas Artes, the government's department of fine arts, operates free visual arts schools nationwide. Now there is a push to create more regional schools at the same level as in the National District.
Students can study visual arts (painting and sculpture), music, dance and theater. The technical courses have a four-year duration. There are schools in Puerto Plata, San Juan de la Maguana, San Jose de Ocoa, Azua, Duarte (San Francisco de Macoris), La Vega, Espaillat, La Romana, Santo Domingo East, National District and San Cristobal.
The best students then graduate to the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes, the Conservatorio Nacional de Musica, the Escuela Nacional de Teatro, Escuela Nacional de Danza, and Escuela Nacional de Artes Visuales that operate in Santo Domingo.
From there the best graduates can join the National Symphony Orchestra, the National Youth and Children Orchestra, the National Choir, the National Lyrics Company, the National Theater Company, the Touring Theater, the National Folkloric Ballet and the National Dominican Ballet.
