Georgie Vega

I have been fortunate to work hand in hand with artists, museums and galleries putting together creative platforms, developing, promoting exhibitions, fundraising efforts, special projects, and events.

Many things have changed in our beloved Puerto Rico, especially after the impact of Hurricane María.
Living on an Island in the midst of a bleak economic crisis, we have no option but to reinvent ourselves, there is no other choice. I’ve gathered years of work experience, and my love for traveling and put together theartwalkpr. What better way to connect with people through unique artistic events and experiential tours!
Join us and discover Puerto Rico's most incredible vibrant art scene!
