Get to know the history of the West Arts Center in the building Former Club Atlético Occidental
The former Occidental Athletic Club, now known as the Center for the Arts of the West, emerged from the initiative of young people belonging to the wealthy social class for the year 1906, who decided to build their own recreational space in which they could have fun in isolation from their Parents and grandparents, who held their social meetings at the Casino Santaneco, very exclusive to the coffee growers in the Western area.
El nombre de Club Atlético Occidental es alusivo a la diversidad de actividades sociales y recreativas que se demandaban en esa época. En sus bellos salones se llevaban a cabo bailes, despedidas de solteros, campeonatos de billar y brindaban una espectacular vista panorámica de cualquier ángulo del club hacia el Parque Libertad y los costados del mismo. Las actividades sociales finalizaron hasta l976.
Since 1997, the Association of Cultural Heritage of Santa Ana, APACULSA, has begun the process of investing in the rescue and conservation of this beautiful building, since its statutes include the objectives of rescue, promotion of artistic expressions, As well as looking for a vision for the education in art of children, young people and people interested in learning the different disciplines that are offered through the workshops, whether in free courses or summer.
At present, we are an Arts Center that fosters artistic sensitivity, through teaching, for the development of talents and skills that contribute to raising the cultural level of Santa Ana.
For this 2017, the Arts Center of the West, will be full of activities with the support of different institutions, always offering the best to the Sanctians and tourists.
