La Madre Poderosa
Gallery: Peter & Madeleine Martin Gallery
Guest Curator Olga Torres-Reid explains: "Nineteen artists have been invited to create constructed pieces for La Madre Poderosa. The artwork is in honor of the “Powerful Mother” in an altar format of the artist’s creation. The idea behind this exhibition was to celebrate the diversity associated with aspects of the powerful feminine. Also, the spring is a time of year devoted to honoring the feminine – through birth and regeneration – so I felt that creating a show around this theme was not only timely but also would provide an opportunity for people to consider the theme on a personal level."
Invited artists include Kristin Bortles, Christalyn Concha, Cynthia Cook, Amy Córdova, Erin Currier, Dan Enger, Jaime Lakatos, Cruz Lopez, Pola Lopez, Norah Lovell, Heriberto Luna, Terrie Hancock Mangat, William Hart McNichols, Delilah Montoya, Jan Sessler, Charles Strong, Mimi Chen Ting, Máye Torres, and Mike Vargas.”
Opening Reception Friday March 11th 5-7pm.
