We're thrilled to bring our 45th annual conference to San Juan, Puerto Rico! As part of the cultural experience on the island, AAAE & Universidad del Sagrado Corazón plan to organize a post-conference trip on Sunday, May 26, 2024, in Ponce, Puerto Rico. If you plan to attend the conference, please fill out this survey so we can gauge the number of attendees for this event.

Please complete this survey by February 16, 2024.

Ponce is the second most important city in Puerto Rico and serves as a hub for artistic and cultural production. This visit aims to expose participants to a sample of the city's creative ecosystem. The departure time will be at 8:30 am (the gathering place is to be determined) to officially begin the tour at the Meliá Hotel at 10:00 am, home to the Marina 15 Art Gallery, which has been providing a space for contemporary art in the region. Afterward, we will visit the Carmen Solá de Pereira Cultural Center and take a tour with Isla Caribe, a local creative enterprise, to learn about the historical context of the city. Following lunch, we will explore the workshops of internationally recognized artists Antonio Martorell and Diógenes Ballester, who currently contribute to the cultural and economic development of the city from their spaces, both located on Ponce Beach. Subsequently, we will return to San Juan around 5:00 pm. Transportation will be via bus.

The trip will cost between $80-100 dollars (in addition to your conference registration fees). We require a group of a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 50 people for the trip to take place.

Your email address is required to complete this survey. Emails will be used to notify interested parties about the progress of the trip.

See you in San Juan!
