Henri Jarrat, co-ordinator of the project, explained that in association with the director of Cultura various North Americans donated the eight benches each with a plaque representing the arts such as theater, music and ballet.
Each bench, designed and constructed by local businesses, cost 12,000 pesos, said Rico.
The idea arose following the erection of a bench by Cultura in front of the Angela Peralta Theater in honour of now deceased American resident Jackie Peterson, a staunch patron of the local arts scene, said Jarrat.
At the inauguration, United States Consul in Mazatlán Luis Ramírez presented Mayor Higuera with a recognition plaque for his support of cultural events during his three terms of office benefitting the American community, Mazatlecans and the community at large.
