Built in 1992, the Belle Alliance conference center and recital hall adds a new dimension of cultural significance, and to our great delight the hall has become a venue of the performing arts in Curaçao, The ART IN AVILA concerts draw a faithful audience from people living on our island as well as hotel guests from abroad, The concept of “art and leisure”, symbolized in the masks of Comedy and Tragedy by sculptress Hortence Brown, has been a success – and we would like to thank all our music-loving concertgoers for their support.
