The City of Rahway has announced the upcoming exhibition "Face(t)s of America" at Gallery Space, running from April 18 through June 13, 2026. Featuring works by six artists—Rodríguez Calero, Dong Kyu Kim, Carlos Mateu, Roxanna Meléndez, Diane Phares, and Duquann Sweeney—the show utilizes portraiture and painting to explore themes of identity, heritage, and belonging in the United States. The exhibition will include a public reception on April 24 featuring performances by the New Jeru Poetry Slam Team.
This exhibition serves as a key cultural component of Rahway’s celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and is a featured participant in the third annual Garden State Art Weekend. By highlighting diverse perspectives on the American experience, the city aims to foster community dialogue and reinforce New Jersey's growing reputation as a significant regional hub for the visual arts.
