Colección Tropicalia is a cultural initiative that brings together art, design, and craft to celebrate the richness and complexity of Caribbean artistic expression. The initiative forms part of Tropicalia, a sustainable tourism destination located on the shores of Samaná Bay in the Dominican Republic, which brings together a resort, residences, cultural initiatives, and long-term social and environmental programs. Through works by Afro-Caribbean, Indigenous, Dominican, diasporic and other Caribbean artists, designers, and artisans, Colección Tropicalia fosters dialogue between the region’s artistic heritage and its contemporary expressions, inviting new ways of seeing and experiencing the Caribbean as a vibrant and interconnected cultural landscape.

Building on Gustavo and Patricia Cisneros’ longstanding commitment to art and education, this independent cultural initiative, led by Adriana Cisneros, upholds creative expression as a vital component of community engagement and sustainable development. In alignment with Tropicalia’s vision of responsible luxury and environmental stewardship, the collection enhances the guest experience while providing artists and makers with a platform to explore, create, and contribute to the cultural fabric of the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean.
