Want to know more about this exhibition?
Arte, Inc invited me to come back and curate another exhibition in their beautiful gallery, as I curated one for them in 2009.
Arte, Inc is a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to Promoting Latino Art, Culture & Talent in the state of Connecticut, USA. They establish partnerships with community agencies and groups to improve quality of life of residents. Arte also assists artists, organizes programs, events, shows and exhibits. They develop and run effective youth programming to engage children and mold better citizens, and most importantly it provides education.
I feel Connecticut artists with Latin roots bring different perspectives to their artistic works, so it is with great pleasure that I'm putting together a group of these talented people to show the public their particular views... and here are the artists I have selected to participate: Sikiu Perez, Margarita Rodriguez-Lansberg and MariaCorina Alvarezdelugo will come back to Arte to show you their new works again this year; along with three new artists, Millie Donovan, Fernando Garcia, and Noe Jimenez... they are all very different from each other and I'm sure the public will enjoy their art greatly!!
Please, save the date for our Opening Reception: Friday, April 22 from 5:30-8 pm.
Live Music by "El Duo Flamenco de los Hermanos Ramos" & refreshments.
Gallery hours: During this exhibition, Arte Gallery will be open to the public Saturdays & Sundays, Noon to 4:00PM, from April 23rd through May 21st.
