Sunday, August 9th marked several firsts for the MAC650 Artspace. In the first one-person photography show presented by the alternative artspace, Colombian photographer Juan Pablo Assmus exhibited a series of images under the theme "Herencia Africana" (African Heritage), in his first US showing of his work. It was also the first ever gallery talk given by an exhibiting artist at MAC650, a trend that will surely continue in the future.

Thanks to all who attended the recent opening and today's talk. And if you already haven't, come on by to see the wonderful Ghanaian arts and crafts along with stunning Afro-Colombian images!

Gallery hours for week of August 10th is:
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM
Saturday: 10 AM to 5 PM
Sunday: Noon to 5 PM
