We emerged from the emotional uplift of the kick-off to
Art & Soul and went into Krash Krew's birthday celebration for
Keesha Dixon, a standing ovation for
Okara Imani, a tribute to Nina Simone by
Manon Voice; and a gallery opening for
Beatriz Vásquez. Today, we engrave their names onto our Sacred Heart. A
Sacred Heart is a Christian symbol of God's boundless and passionate love, a symbol that, when displayed in a home, includes the engraved names of dear ones. That's why
Beatriz Vásquez's cut paper sacred heart is our art of the week.
