10 Art Galleries in El Centro (Downtown) That You Shouldn't Miss
The birthplace of the tango is, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are rife with romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife, and Buenos Aires' European heritage is evident in its architecture, boulevards and parks. Cafe Tortoni, the city's oldest bar, will transport you back to 1858, and the spectacular Teatro Colon impresses just as it did in 1908. Latin America's shopping capital offers the promise of premium retail therapy along its grand, wide boulevards.

Quorum arises under the idea that art should be accessible to everyone. The art world is inaccessible to the public and to the artists themselves. After years surrounded by artists, in own and others exhibitions, we noticed the lack of a daily circulation space where you don't need to be a collector to buy art. In this shop you can buy works from different disciplines, techniques and formats (photography, engraving, painting, ceramics, silk screen, sculpture and more) and art and design products, all at affordable prices.

This Argentine tango show is held inside the Borges Cultural Center (BCC) located inside the beautiful Galerias Pacifico shopping center in Buenos Aires. Theater type seats are basic, cushioned, and comfortable. Different performances of tango are scheduled for different days during the week. Three of us went to see Pasion de Tango show on a Tuesday evening. One of the few early tango shows in Buenos Aires central area so you can plan other activities such as wining and dining at other places. One purchases open-seating tickets at least one-hour before the show at their manned kiosk inside the BCC. Cost in Feb 2020 was only $900 Argentine Pesos. Cash only, no credit cards. Theatre is air-conditioned and kept at a comfortable temperature. Lighting is good. Sound is good. No photography or video recording of any kind is allowed during the performance. They sell DVDs after the show however, we never found them. The performance included a small live band which played quite well. The dancers performed historic Argentine tangos covering several periods and costume changes. A solo male singer serenaded the audience between dances. The entire show started early at 8 pm and ended at just over an hour. This allows finding dinner later at a dedicated restaurant. In summary, a great introduction to historic Argentine tangos with no frills (no drinks or food service to gouge patrons).

This is a marvelous find❗️My daughter, son-in-law and I found delightful gifts for ourselves, our family members and lucky friends. I LOVE fine, as well as funky, arts & crafts and AUTORIA HAS IT ALL. Unique women’s clothing, endless choices of special jewelry, stuffed toys, leather animals and books for children, varied paintings, small sculptures, and purses—many by renowned Argentinian designers, artisans & artists. There are so many wonderful pieces from which to choose, we had to purchase some of our goodies, take a break for water & vino, go back and begin again. Then.....my daughter & I returned a third time (not kidding here) while my son-in-law enjoyed cerveza in a tavern down the street. The owner brought clothes in styles perfect for me so I could try them on. If something didn’t look right on me, “No, no,” then he’d bring something else. It was FUN! Go to AUTORIA‼️
