See Hear Do: November 5-11

Cosmic Chicano is an exploration of Mexican-American identity through the lens of the mythical, the ancestral, and the now. These works blend the intimate with the infinite. Central to artist Brian Martinez's journey is the luchador mask: a symbol of cultural pride, transformation, and duality. In his work, the mask becomes both relic and vessel — a way of seeing the world and of being seen.

Hours: Thu-Fri, 4-8p; Sat, 12-4p.
