Notta Gallery Celebrates Hispanic Art and Culture with Fuego Festival and ‘Caballo de Fuego’

Notta Gallery in Lakeland, Florida, is launching a major retrospective titled 'Caballo de Fuego: Firehorse' dedicated to the 90-year-old Cuban master Gonzalo Borges. The exhibition features over 40 works spanning three decades, ranging from 1994 to a new piece completed in 2025. To mark the opening, the gallery is hosting the inaugural Fuego Festival, a street event celebrating Hispanic heritage through art, Latin cuisine, and live music.

This event is significant as it highlights the career of a prolific artist who trained under Cuban masters like Vicente Clemades before relocating to the United States. By positioning the exhibition alongside regional draws like Sun ‘n Fun and Mayfaire by-the-Lake, Notta Gallery aims to elevate Borges’ profile among collectors and the broader public, asserting his status as an under-recognized master of the Cuban diaspora.
