Between Brushes and Guitars with Hermes Croatto and Antonio Martorell

Alumni Hermes Croatto and maestro Antonio Martorell joined their talents and delighted us with a unique evening, Entre Pinceles y Guitarra, to benefit the University of Puerto Rico Press. Shortly before the closure due to the pandemic, on March 5, 2020, participants, guests, and donors enjoyed the experience of seeing before their eyes the creation of several pieces of art inspired by the lyrics and music of Hermes' melodies. The proceeds received by the participants and the donation for each piece created by Martorell during the event support the reprinting of his autobiographical work entitled La piel de la memoria. Professor and artist John Rivas created the commemorative poster for this activity. The commemorative posters are still available, as are some of the pieces painted during the evening. If you wish to cooperate with the UPR Publishing House, you can do so through https://www.upr.edu/donaciones under SPECIAL PROJECTS and indicating that it is for the benefit of the Publishing House, or you can write to mvelia.rodriguez@upr.edu to purchase a work or poster.
