Art is a form of Expression

I may not be the biggest expert on art nor can I name some famous artists, but I do appreciate good art; especially if it comes from the heart. I love hearing artist stories, their experiences and how they use everything to paint, create, construct, etc. Well opening this Friday, Las Gallas presents Lo Que Aparaece y Desaparece at Taller Puertorriqueño. The exhibition is a mixed media print installation that explores the importance of mark making (those seen and unseen) in art, family and on the path of individuals.

Las Gallas is a Philadelphia-based multi-disciplinary arts collective forming a dynamic force that incorporates all of the artists developed skills in theater, visual arts, dance, film, poetry, spoken word & literature. These artists include Michelle Ortiz, Zoi cisneros, Magda Martinez and Julia Lopez.
