Morris-Jumel: Faces & Façades – Artworks by Andrea Arroyo

Faces & Façades is an upcoming exhibition at the Morris-Jumel Mansion showcasing new artworks by Andrea Arroyo. The project is a love letter to the uptown community and the women who hold it together. The paintings in the exhibition blend organic and non-organic forms, taking inspiration from two sources: the female body and the architectural elements of uptown buildings.

Join us at Morris-Jumel Mansion for the opening reception, where you’ll see the exhibition and hear the artist speak about her work. Light refreshments will be provided. Free registration on Eventbrite.

Faces & Façades is made possible in part with support from the Artist Employment Program, Creatives Rebuild New York, UMEZ Arts Engagement, Mano a Mano: Mexican Culture Without Borders, and the Puffin Foundation.
