"Bulla Cubana" at Lost Art Gallery

The Lost Art Gallery will host "Bulla Cubana," a celebration of art, music, and dance, to benefit St. Augustine's sister city of Baracoa, Cuba, which suffered a great deal of damage during Hurricane Matthew. The festival will begin during the First Friday Art Walk on March 3, and will continue the next evening (Saturday, March 4, 2017).

The Spanish word "bulla" means noise, and the celebration planned by the Lost Art Gallery should live up to that name in liveliness and range of talent. On Friday night, the gallery will debut an exhibit of work by four Cuban artists. This exhibit will be a highlight of the First Friday Art Walk on March 3, and will be displayed at the Lost Art Gallery and its sister gallery, Sea Spirits, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m.

Bulla Cubana continues on Saturday, March 4, from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m., with music and dance performances at the gallery. The Jax English Salsa Band will be joined by Cuban vocalist Barbara Martin, and the principal dancer from the National Ballet of Cuba & Dance Alive, Jessie Dominguez, will also perform. Minimum entry fee to this event is $20, and there will be a cash bar with wine and spirits. White or festive attire is optional.

Proceeds will benefit St. Augustine's sister city in Cuba, Baracoa.

Admission: The exhibit opening during the First Friday Art Walk is free. For the festivities on Saturday, a minimum donation of $20 is required for entry.

When: The exhibit opening will be hosted during the First Friday Art Walk, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Friday, March 3. The Saturday event will take place from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 4, 2017.
