FlexSpace Speaker Series: Building Community in Printmaking
November 17th, 4 - 6:00p.m.
Come join us to learn more about local artist Tony Ortega's practice in printmaking and how he builds community. 

Of his work Ortega says, "I believe that there is a relationship between art and social justice.  My goal as an artist is to create artworks that are personal and which also express a sense of social responsibility.
Through my work, I offer a multifaceted fiction that incorporates the traditions, history and culture of Latinos. In the postmodern age, my visual language speaks to the issue of international migration, focuses on shifting demographics, draws from pop culture and seeks to present truth at a more local, personal level."
