Here's the MÍRAME selected Costa Rican art exhibitions and events happening across the country this week. Read below or in our current newsletter.

Costa Rica boasts a dynamic contemporary art scene, which is gaining increased attention from international audiences. While the country’s breathtaking landscapes are a key source of inspiration for many artists, Costa Rican art extends far beyond these natural beauties. The country’s art scene is marked by a diverse range of artistic expressions. Costa Rican artists are creating high-calibre, thought-provoking works that address complex themes, from identity and environment to socio-political issues within Latin America and beyond.

From the bustling streets of San José to the quieter coastal towns, Costa Rica hosts a variety of galleries, exhibitions, and cultural events that highlight the emerging talent shaping the country's artistic identity. Even for those unable to attend these events in person, MÍRAME’s regular exhibition highlights offer a curated glimpse into this flourishing scene.

1. Que No Le Digan, Que No Le Cuenten! Adrián Arguedas, José Figueres Ferrer Cultural and Historical Center, San Ramón. 

Adrián Arguedas print exhibition. The prints of Adrián Arguedas from the Museum of Costa Rican Art in San José will be touring various cultural venues around Costa Rica. Featuring works from 1990 to 2025, this section of the tour will be presented in San Ramón until 28 March. A rare chance to see the work of one of Costa Rica's most celebrated artists.

2. faerie Guillermo Tovar, deCERCA, Sendero Hotel, Nosara, Guanacaste.

A new body of work faerie by Guillermo Tovar opens this week at deCERCA's space in Nosara. Tovar paints imaginative, fantastical worlds inspired by cinema and literature. The title of the exhibition faerie invites us to reconnect with our sense of childlike wonder and to tune into the invisible dimensions that sustain life.

faerie Guillermo Tovar marks the final show at deCERCA's Nosara exhibition space, closing a significant chapter for the gallery and the Costa Rican contemporary art scene.

Go and see the show! And contact deCERCA for more information to inquire about the new faerie Guillermo Tovar paintings.

3. Enraizada Donde el miedo se desvanece (Rooted: Where Fear Vanishes), Alessandra Sequeira, Rafael Angel Calderón Guardia Museum, San José.

Alessandra Sequeira's work invites us to view textiles as a living territory: a language that envelops, protects and reveals. Each piece is the result of an intimate and reflective process where the body becomes a map of memories, traces and silences, but also a space for healing and transformation.

Free admission | No reservation required. Please contact the museum or Alessandra Sequeira directly for more information.

4. Anamorfosis: Pequeñas Fracturas, abra.espacio, San José.

Open at abra.espacio in San José, Anamorfosis: pequeñas fracturas presents a new body of work by Emmanuel Rodríguez Chaves that reflects on the instability of contemporary image culture. Through layered compositions that draw on archival material, digital sources and painterly intervention, the Costa Rican artist examines how images shape memory, ideology and collective perception at a moment marked by uncertainty.

Free admission. Please contact abra directly for more information.

5. Pieles (Skins), Ulises Rivera Lopez | Francisco Vazquez May, Museo de Arte y Diseño Contemporáneo de Costa Rica, San José.

Pieles is an installation on the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design esplanade that expands the experience of audiences outside the museum. Created by Ulises Rivera Lopez and Francisco Vazquez May, the installation that reflects on the relationship between the urban and natural landscapes. Combining art, design and bioconstruction, the work looks at the connections between matter and territory.

Please contact the museum directly for more information.

6. La Invocacion, Gerald Castro, Galería Eterea, San José.

The exhibition explores mysticism and the complexity of social relationships through the consistent technique of artistic printmaking (grabado artístico). Castro uses the printmaking medium as a vehicle to examine ritual practices and social dynamics, creating a space where art, ritual and reflection converge. The title "La Invocación" (The Invocation) suggests the work engages with themes of summoning, calling forth, or spiritual practice, positioning the printmaking process itself as potentially ritualistic while using this framework to examine how people relate to one another within social structures.

Free admission | Please contact the Galería Eterea directly for more information.
