SAN JOSÉ, COSTA RICA / ACCESSWIRE / July 26, 2024 / Costa Rica, known for its biodiversity and environmental sustainability, also boasts a rich cultural heritage, including an exciting art scene. Despite its talented artists, including renowned Costa Rican painters, Costa Rican art often remains in the shadows.

Limited media coverage, insufficient infrastructure, and lack of investment in cultural sectors hinder the growth and recognition of Costa Rican art.
Although emerging artwork and even famous Costa Rican paintings are available, the artists don't receive the attention they deserve.

San José: An Artistic Destination
Costa Rica's capital city, San José, is especially deserving of recognition as a cultural hub. Often seen merely as a stopover en-route to the beaches, San José is home to a thriving art scene.
The city is rich with art spaces that celebrate Costa Rican art. Notable institutions include the National Museum of Costa Rica and the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design. Artist-run spaces like the artist-run abra.espacio and cero uno showcase the exciting work of Costa Rica emerging artists.
MÍRAME aims to put San José on the cultural map by inviting visitors to explore the city's art scene and engage with its talented artists. Through Costa Rican art gallery exhibitions and events, MÍRAME seeks to give Costa Rican art and culture the recognition it deserves.

Costa Rica's art scene, though rich and diverse, has long been overshadowed. MÍRAME Fine Art is changing this narrative by championing local talent, fostering cultural appreciation, and building bridges to the international art world.
