September 15 to October 15 is National Hispanic Heritage Month - a time to recognize the histories, cultures, and contributions of Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

As part of this recognition, the Louise & Arnold Kotler Art Gallery will showcase the artwork of local artists from the Coalition of Hispanic Artists (CHA). The exhibition “Diáspora/Diaspora” will feature works in photography, drawing, paint, sculptures, and poetry.

The opening art reception will be held on Saturday, Sept. 14 from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. The art reception will host the Coalition of Hispanic Artists first poetry contest, featuring unpublished works, written in Spanish, with a free theme. Meet the artists and enjoy light refreshments.
