The Museum of Art of Puerto Rico held a special holiday event to bring the exquisite space to life and celebrate new beginnings in the upcoming year. The impressive event counted with the music of Tuna los Segreles and Grupo Sin Prisa and passed Puerto Rican-inspired delicacies curated by the exceptional Chef Marisol, which also counted with champagne and signature bar areas. To kick off the festivities, Maria C. Gaztambide, Executive Director, MAPR, shared the museum’s goals and Marcos Rodríguez-Ema thanked the new Silver Circle club for their contribution to the 25th Anniversary activities. The event culminated with a delicious chef-inspired buffet and the traditional lechon, and guests in fabulous attire danced the night away.
