Acknowledging both the state’s rapidly changing demographics and the absence of a venue to recognize the artistic contributions of that community, Rodgers said, “It seems natural that we would reach out and pull the walls down.”
Rodgers said for several years, the museum has looked forward to presenting an exhibition devoted to the work of Hispanic artists who live in North Carolina and have worked in the state extensively.
“Few inclusive exhibitions of the work of Latino artists have been presented in North Carolina,” said Rodgers. “An objective here is to explore the work of some of the artists who have been overlooked and have not been shown in any great measure to Triangle audiences.” North Carolina’s Triangle area encompasses the cities of Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill.
