This year, the 13th Annual Dia di Arte will take place from 10:00 AM until 10:00 PM on 3 July, 2005 in Wilhelmina Park, and will feature the youth of Bonaire.  Children will have the opportunity to come and paint, make handicrafts, sing, or dance together with Bonaire's unique artists.  Reserve the day of 3 July to come and enjoy the festivities with the people and visitors of Bonaire.

 

For a small island, Bonaire can boast of having an active artist community with many diverse and distinctive styles.  Wander among the various booths to see one-of-a-kind handicrafts and paintings, which will be available for sale.  Enjoy kuminda krioyo (local food) and beverages.  In the evening, enjoy "Showtime" with winners of the Caribbean Gospel Festival, Tio Roly, Pamela, Raul, and many other artists.  This truly will be a day dedicated to Bonaire's art and culture!
