New Art Exhibition to Open

Our next art exhibition in the Saladrigas Gallery will be In Plain Sight / A Plena Vista and will open with a special reception on Thursday, January 25th, at 7:30 p.m. The community is invited to join us for this event. Click here to RSVP. 

Through the presentation of preparatory drawings, prints, paintings, sculptures, and photographs, this exhibition considers the significant role that artists of Cuban heritage have played in the history of public art in Miami. The exhibition includes works by artists such as Jose Bedia, Manuel Carbonell, Enrique Martinez Celaya, Carlos Luna, Laura Luna, Rafael Consuegra, and Lydia Rubio, who, like the other artists in the show, have been shaped by their personal experiences with Cuba and the culture of South Florida. Some Cuban artists have chosen to communicate their experiences overtly through their work, while other artists in the exhibition, perhaps born in the United States to parents who immigrated at a young age, often convey different subject matter to the viewer. 

The exhibition is free and will be on view from Thursday, January 25, through Friday, March 8, 2024. The opening reception will be on Thursday, January 25, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. A special program featuring Dr. Carol Damian, Art Historian and Chairperson, Miami Dade County Art in Public Places Trust, will be presented on Friday, February 9 at 7:30 pm.  Viewing hours are available by appointment.  Programming will provide extended hours and activities to increase the exhibition's access.
