Friday night at exhibit opening at The Copper was very well received. Many in attendance were deeply moved by the fascinating—and sometimes misunderstood—art of outsider artists. The exhibit, titled “No Seasoning,” curated by Elvia Rosa Castro, features seven Afro-Cuban descendant artists and touches on sensitive issues associate with these artists . We look forward to future programming during the exhibit’s run, which will continue over the next several weeks. @naemi_org @the_srcorchea_backroomart @memearte @vote4kevinburns @geo.darder
