September 14 – November 3, 2013
Building W-16 McGuireWoods Gallery, Workhouse Arts Center
The Suenos Americanos exhibition at the Workhouse Arts Center is a nationally juried exhibition comprised of works created by visual artists working in a variety of mediums and styles that celebrate Latin America. Latin American art is comprised of the artistic expressions of South America, Central America, the Caribbean, and Mexico, and of Latin Americans living in other regions. One common cultural occurrence among Latinos is migration to the United States, often in search of the “American dream.” Suenos Americanos explores the dualities of the Latin American experience and how they uniquely inform the artistic voice of each artist represented.
PARTICIPATING ARTISTS:
Pablo Azar Nayda Cuevas Dilenia Garcia
Ana Marini-Genzon Domingo Parada Nic Provenzo
Arturo Rodriguez Pablo Solares Raul Villarreal
Jeff Chyatte
Independent curator and writer Laura Roulet juried the exhibition. Roulet specializes in contemporary and Latin American art as a curator and published author. She was one of five international curators chosen for 5×5, a major public art initiative in Washington, DC. She recently curated “Sculpting Outside the Lines,” the Arts in Foggy Bottom Third Biennial Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit and several exhibits at the Art Museum of the Americas, both in Washington, DC. Roulet has also curated exhibits internationally in locations including Mexico City and Puerto Rico.
