Colorful Crab Aerosol Art live painting local Artist Kech Kenall Valverde Playas del Coco, Costa Rica

Watching an artist work in aerosol can be captivating, seeing how shapes and layers come together, and how quickly we can witness an image transform. It draws our interest and attention, a unique look into an artist’s process and view. This large-scale work of vibrant color and sea life was painted live at a community event in the park. It measures 288 x 173 cm, aerosol on canvas. Contact Kech to coordinate a live painting experience. +506 8497 9285

It's been inspiring to see that the Playas del Coco "Cultural Encounter" has focused on racism, discrimination, and rights, in offering several workshops and presentations to educate around these themes, identify how they affect our daily lives, and inspire action for change. Thursday and Friday's events have included a puppet presentation for kids: 'Amo Mi Melanina' (I Love My Melanin), youth workshops on racism, oppression, and discrimination, and a workshop for community leaders to evaluate how we experience racism in the community.

Kech Artes exhibits street art technique to inspire kids to value their artistic talents and art's power to uplift community

Kech and I are honored to be invited back to participate in Saturday's event 'Ensenamos a los Ninos a Sonar' (Let's Teach the Children to Dream), which will take place in Coco's beachfront park Amor de Temporada 9 - 3pm. This is a free event with tons of activities designed for children 3 - 10 years old. Kech will be bringing out a giant canvas and beautiful palette of spray paint to showcase large-scale street art technique, inspiring kids to pursue their artistic talents and value how public art can uplift community.

I will provide the hoard of hula hoops to offer an opportunity for free play and exploration, creative movement, innovative game-making, and joyful challenges to learn and master new skills and build self-confidence. Hula Hooping is fun way to build strength, develop body-awareness and body-control, and promote mobility in a safe and gentle aerobic activity for all ages.

We loved being a part of this event in December 2019, and we're so happy to see the event grow this year; we hope it will continue to be a Coco tradition. Many thanks to Ophir Cultura for organizing this event, to the University of Costa Rica's Social Action projects, and support from ADICOCO, Cine Hermosa, and many other local organizations and businesses that make this event a success. See you in the park. ~ Teagan
