UPCOMING GALLERY EXHIBITS
AMERICA CARRILLO
GALLERY OPENING: JULY
Gallery opening for "Allegiance" This show represents memory and meaning. It explores the tension between past and present, between the romanticized American dream and the reality of a changing landscape. Some pieces may evoke the warmth of a 1950s soda shop, while others reveal of forgotten dreams. Viewers are invited to piece together their own version of Americana—what is remembered, what is lost, and what is reimagined.
America Carrillo is a mural artist based in Indiana, driven by a passion for public art that fosters community, sparks conversation, and ignites creativity. Specialising in murals as well as collage art, she has built a reputation for her expressive, distinctive style.
