Morris-Jumel: Andrea Arroyo’s New Years Reception

Let’s toast to the new year! Join Andrea Arroyo on Saturday, January 18, at the Morris-Jumel Mansion Museum in Manhattan. Raise a glass to celebrate the beginning of 2025 at her exhibition, “Faces & Façades”
Faces & Façades is an 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.
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.
