This special YVArts panel discussion will feature famed neon artists
Kadir Lopez Nieves of Cuba and Michael Flechtner of Los Angeles.
Nieves—who has garnered critical acclaim and been named one of the
top 10 artists to watch by The Huffington Post—will be flying in
from Cuba for the opening of YVArts' HAVANA NOIR Exhibition and will
join Flechtner—renowned neon artist and creator of the USPS
“Celebrate” stamp—as they discuss their installation of images,
neon, and other visual and narrative clues that interpret the
midcentury urban fabric of the city of Havana. This special event will
feature panelists from the collection. A cash bar & social will open
beforehand at 3:30pm and conclude the event.
