In memory of INÉS TREJOS ARAYA

November 12, 2024

AICA Costa Rica announces the sad loss of Inés Trejos Araya, vice president and co-founder of our national section, who passed away in the Costa Rican capital on October 15 after a long battle with cancer.

Trejos Araya, journalist, art critic and cultural manager, was a pioneer in the development of periodical publications in the artistic-cultural field in Costa Rica and Venezuela. Her contributions in the official sphere of government and outside of it have been decisive for the definition of cultural policies and the promotion of art, highlighting her role as founder and first director of the Costa Rican Art Museum. AICA Costa Rica recognized her as an honorary member of the association that she helped found in 2021 and of which she was vice president. She was an accredited member of AICA International. She was responsible for the Awards and Recognitions committee, the second edition of which took place this year.

At AICA Costa Rica, she made a decisive contribution to opening spaces for discussion and the incorporation of women of merit into the association. She was a tireless fighter for Costa Rican art and culture and freedom of expression. We express our sincere condolences to her family.
