The Casa Azafrán Art Gallery is a community centered art gallery which opens space for Latinx and immigrant origin artists to share their voices, perspectives and art. It also features community-led art that explores issues of relevance to the immigrant community around belonging and identity.
Each year, with the support of our sponsors, Conexión Américas hosts three art exhibitions, one curated and created by program participants, and two featuring the work of local Latinx and/or immigrant origin artists. These exhibitions not only provide a platform for often underrepresented artists to present and sell their work, but also showcase the broad talents of Nashville’s immigrant community.
Welcome to our latest addition: an extraordinary art exhibition showcasing the indelible mark of four Latinx artists on Nashville. Join us on a captivating journey as we celebrate the vibrant cultural contributions of these talented individuals. From vivid illustrations to intricate sculptures, immerse yourself in a fusion of tradition and innovation that captures the essence of Latinx artistry.
Current Exhibition: Mi Huella
Discover the richness of Latinx heritage through the lens of these visionary artists, whose works resonate with passion, identity, and resilience, leaving their indelible mark, or ‘Mi Huella,’ on the canvas of Nashville’s cultural landscape. Each piece invites you to explore the depths of their experiences, fostering dialogue and reflection on themes of community, heritage, and belonging.
Explore the vibrant woodblock carvings, paintings, and illustrations of Yanira Vissepo, whose work highlights the wild fauna of Puerto Rico. Lose yourself in the mesmerizing photographs of Alvaro Hernandez, as he captures fleeting moments of beauty in his family and the world around him. Immerse yourself in the intricate illustrations of Izamar Rodriguez, which weave her own memories to create a sense of nostalgia. And last, but not least, marvel at the striking sculptures of Cesar Pita, whose multidimensional works blur the lines between tradition and innovation. Through the collective vision of these visionary artists, “Mi Huella” invites you to explore the richness of Latinx heritage and the enduring power of art to inspire, provoke, and unite.
