Opening Night @ Black Walls Gallery

Join the artists and creatives behind Black Walls Gallery to celebrate the opening reception of Aquí y Allá. The show is featuring 5 local, latine artists, from Lawrence, MA, as we highlight Hispanic Heritage Month.

“Aquí y Allá (Here and There) is a group exhibition spotlighting visual artists from Lawrence,
Massachusetts — one of New England’s most densely Caribbean cities — whose work channels
Dominican and Puerto Rican heritage through painting, illustration, and mixed media. Curated
by Christian Rodriguez (Techni), the show features Wilfred Acosta, Michelle Collado, Chelsea
Tlyer Marrero, and David Santana, kids of the diaspora born to parents from Puerto Rico and the
Dominican Republic who have each lived in or spent extensive time on the islands themselves.
Marking the first time this group is entering Boston together, the show represents both

Lawrence’s art scene and the heritage and culture their families carried into it — work rooted as
much in Lawrence’s mill-town streets as in the islands that shaped it.”

Celebrate with us, connect with the artists and consume the culture.
