Reflections on La Virgen honors Our Lady of Guadalupe Throughout December Via

Pop-Up in Upper Gallery

A one-month Pop-Up Art Installation Reflections on La Virgen featuring the work of Ana Borne and Rebecca Switzer will grace our Upper Gallery Dec. 3 – Jan. 6. Enjoy two local artists’ devotion to, and artistic interpretations of, our Lady of Guadelupe. A public reception will be held Thursday, Dec. 11 from 2pm – 4pm. Free, open to all.

The pair shares: “Our inspiration for this show came from years of fascination with the Virgen de Guadalupe and her history. Our work reimagines her image in different mediums to challenge and celebrate female strength. We’re excited to share with you our Reflections on La Virgen. Enjoy and gain inspiration from the exhibit as we have.”
