To honor Hispanic Heritage Month, Blue Line Arts will be hosting Comunidad, a group exhibition for artists hailing from Hispanic and Latin cultural backgrounds. Local Sacramento State professor and artist Dr. Luis Genaro Garcia will be lending his expertise to selecting works for inclusion in the exhibition and to the accompanying educational programs running during the exhibition.

“Whether it’s an exchange of a skill, practice, education, or knowledge that has been passed down through communal engagements, these selected works display the interactions and knowledge which have developed our understanding of building community through the cultural practices of the Latinx/Hispanic community. ...The Spanish term comunidad gives us an even deeper understanding of the term community that is interwoven into the lived experiences of Latinx and Hispanic communities,” says Dr. Garcia.

The exhibition will be on display at Blue Line Arts from September 17th to October 23rd. During the upcoming Third Saturday event in Downtown Roseville, the gallery will be hosting an opening reception with free artist lectures beginning at 4PM. Outside the gallery, the celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month continues with musical performances and live painting of temporary murals, from 5-9PM.
