The Gallery at Creative Pinellas in Largo, Florida, is hosting an opening reception for "Keepers of Heritage: Hidden Tales / Custodios de la Herencia: Cuentos Ocultos" on Saturday, August 5, 2023, from 6pm to 8pm. The exhibition features works by the Keepers of the Heritage collective, a group of renowned artists from Puerto Rico, Florida, and New York, including Brenda Cruz, Domingo Garcia, Martin Garcia Rivera, and Rafael Rivera Rosa. The evening will include music and art, with opportunities to meet the artists and purchase their work.
This event matters because it highlights the cultural contributions of Puerto Rican and Latinx artists, fostering cross-regional dialogue between Puerto Rico, Florida, and New York. By showcasing heritage and hidden narratives, the exhibition supports community engagement and the visibility of underrepresented voices in the visual arts, reinforcing the role of local galleries like Creative Pinellas in promoting diverse artistic expression.
