JAMAICA CENTER for Arts and Learning (JCAL) is pleased to present
PORTRAITS OF LATINO IMMIGRANTS, an exhibition of paintings by Jessica
Alazraki. Opening the week of the presidential election, the
exhibition offers glimpses into the everyday lives of Latinx families
in the US with its combination of bright patterns and colors and muted
expressions; it is a reminder of common humanity that we share even in
politically heated and divisive times. The artist is a recipient of
the 2020 Queens Art Fund New Work Grant, awarded by the Queens Council
on the Arts. PORTRAITS OF LATINO IMMIGRANTS WILL BE HELD AT JCAL’s
Community Gallery from November 6th to December 12, 2020, with a Press
Opening on November 6th, 12-6 PM by appointment. On Saturdays,
November 14, and December 5th, 12-5 PM, the artist will be present in
the gallery to engage in conversation with the audience. General
public hours are Monday-Friday, 10 AM-6 PM. An Artist Talk will be
live-streamed onto the JCAL Youtube Channel from the gallery on
November 14th at 3 PM with a limited audience. All visits must be made
by appointment--see JCAL.org/visit-the-gallery for more information.
