Campo: Expand your artistic endeavors
Hidden in lush greenery a stone’s throw from the beach, Campo’s building and surrounding environment is as enchanting as its program offerings. From your stool in their El Estudio arts studio you may simply glance up for inspiration, from the glass paneled view of vibrant flora outside to displays of local artist’s works lining the walls, it’d be difficult to not find a source for your creativity.
Campo takes the cake when it comes to variety in offerings. Beyond their changing exhibitions and regularly scheduled ceramics, painting, and drawing classes, check out their calendar to browse classes like “ abstract art and microbiology workshop,” choir and experimental music,” letters of love,” and “exploring creativity and collaboration through flowers.” Cap your visit with a stop at La Ventanita for delicious dishes ranging from Costa Rican classics to creative fusions.
