“Part of me” is a solo exhibition of mixed media work by Mandy Cano Villalobos. Through meticulously executed pieces, the artist explores physical labor as both a meditative ritual and a futile exploit. Opening night will also include a modern dance performance by choreographer Hannah Sullivan with Amy Wilson and Carolina Gil Pava and music by Jeremy Verwys from 7:30 to 8:00 pm.
