Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning (JCAL) is pleased to present Portraits of Latino
Immigrants , an exhibition of paintings by Jessica Alazraki. Opening the week of the presidential election, the exhibition offers glimpses into the everyday lives of Latinx families in the US with its combination of bright patterns and colors and muted expressions; it is a reminder of a common humanity that we share even in
politically heated and divisive times. The artist is a recipient of the 2020 Queens Art Fund New Work Grant,
awarded by the Queens Council on the Arts.
