The Photo Exhibit, which runs from July 16th to August 30th at Playa Dorada Golf Club, is keenly supported by Dominican President Leonel Fernandez, and forms part of GFDD/FUNGLODE’s overall goal to promote the DR, disseminate information about the country, as well as strengthen appreciation and respect for its culture and ecological heritage.

Created by Editor in Chief, Natasha Despotovic, “New Perspectives: Dominican Republic” is a masterly compiled 300 page bilingual English-Spanish publication comprised of nearly 400 aerial images. The book’s photographer, Anne Casale, will be on hand at the inaugural reception, at the Playa Dorada Golf club on July 16th at 6 PM to discuss her work in presenting the Dominican Republic in a brand new light.
