Art show designed to raise funds for former workers in nation's sex industries
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff

A new art show at the Galería Nacional del Museo de los Niños hopes to raise funds for families formerly involved in Costa Rica's sex industry. Sponsored by Fundación Rehab, a non-profit that supports women formerly involved in the sex trade, the art show brings together 14 local artists in an exposition entitled “Arte por amor.”

None of the artwork will directly address prostitution as a theme. Artists include Ana Griselda Hine, who has gained national acclaim for her watercolors and acrylic paintings. The display will include established artists, such as sculptor and painter Herberth Bolaños, and internationally acclaimed watercolorist Carl Aldana. Newcomers are also featured at the show, such as Xinia Matamoros, who works mainly with watercolor portraits of tropical fruits.

The Fundación Rehab, which held a fundraiser during the art show's inauguration Tuesday, will donate the funds to mothers, girls and teenagers previously involved in the sex trade, who are now either returning to school or seeking to reintegrate themselves into the job market.

The exhibition will run until the end of November. Entrance to Galería Nacional del Museo de los Niños is free. Hours are from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, and 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends.
