Opening Reception - Our Radiant Cultures

2026 Hispanic Heritage Month Exhibition Our Radiant Cultures: 2026 Hispanic Heritage Month Exhibition Opening Reception Join Westbury Arts for the opening reception of Our Radiant Cultures, a captivating exhibition celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. This exhibition aims to empower and honor Hispanic peoples’ rich traditions during Hispanic Heritage Month. Artists of Hispanic/Latinx heritage have submitted original works that explore the multifaceted tapestry of their ancestry through expressive art including painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, collage, photography, digital, and mixed media. This exhibition expresses our delight in the mosaic of diverse customs, traditions and aspirations that have all come together in what we call El País de la Oportunidad/The Land of Opportunity. This exhibition was curated and features the art of Manuel Macarrulla. Mr. Macarrulla is a painter, printmaker, and mask maker whose work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in New York and throughout the U.S. and the Dominican Republic. He studied painting at the University of Pennsylvania under Neil Welliver and Rackstraw Downes and many others. His work with figures in settings relating to his native Dominican Republic, or other real or imagined places, integrates cultural significance and magic realism. Refreshments will be provided. Westbury Arts programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
