Join us for PRETTY HOT, a solo exhibition by Alondra M. Garza!

Opening Reception: October 4, 6-8  PM 

ART SOUP: October 11, 4-6 pm

Viewing hours: Saturday and Sunday, 12-3 pm, or by appointment.

Alondra M. Garza’s solo exhibition explores the complexities of Latina identity through symbolically charged mixed media paintings, performance photography, and installation. Through humor, sensuality, Latin culture, and femme bodies, Garza transforms stereotypes and narratives into sensory-driven acts of empowerment and vulnerability. Pretty Hot includes expressive oil and Cheeto dust paintings, watercolors created while caregiving, photographs reclaiming the “Hot Cheeto Girl”, and fiery installations. They are spicy, made to stain, and more than a snack.

Alondra's work is currently being showcased:

• White Bear Center for the Arts for her co-curated exhibition"Futuros Posibles", on view from September 11 to October 31. 

• Northeast Sculpture, "Pasos Prohibidos", on view from September 17 to October 4. 

• She is also the juror of a show opening at Silverwood Park, "The Value of Nature", from October 9 to November 30.
