Centro Arte para La Paz

Occupying a full city block, this former school - that has stood closed for the last 25 years - is being renovated and reopened as an arts and performance space, emphasizing 'a culture of peace.' Not yet fully opened when we visited, it promises to be an important addition to Suchitoto's already vibrant arts and culture scene.

Plans include a 300-person theatre for live shows, film screenings and more; an outdoor garden and performance space; studios for art classes; and a media and digital resources center. The website is very professional, and includes an up-to-date events calendar.
