The San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts, in Havana, is celebrating the 205th anniversary of its foundation on Thursday with a cultural gala in which students from the National Art Schools will participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An exhibition of paintings, engraving, and sculpture, among other disciplines, by the students of the two-hundred-year-old school will also be inaugurated in its gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Academy is the oldest fine arts school in Latin America and the second oldest educational institution in Cuba, only preceded by the University of Havana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Founded in 1818 at the St. Augustine Convent in Old Havana, the San Alejandro academy occupied several buildings in this capital throughout the years until it was definitively established at a building in Marianao neighborhood in 1962.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the triumph of the Revolution, in 1959, the study plans were expanded with new contents in arts and humanities that turned the institution into a teaching model and a national methodological center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
