Sometimes people who don't know this part of the world consider it a cultural vacuum.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  It's true to say we don't have huge, expensive and self important art galleries where people who are famous for being famous have their art installations.   But .... what we do have is a beach, some great weather, and some individuals with both enthusiasm and imagination, and what you get from that mix is true art:
