SUMMARY:"Aquí Estamos\, Here Wear Are" Art Show Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an opening reception to see the work of Pulitzer Prize winner José Galvez on Friday\, February 5 from 6 – 9pm at the City Gallery (118 S Person St.).

His compelling work\, done with respect\, pride and no pretense\, captures the beauty of daily life.

This event is part of the First Friday Gallery Walk and is made possible through the NC Council of Churches\, Vintage Church and the City Gallery and generous funding from Z. Smith Reynolds. The show will be up all month.
