"I want to show an other side of the hispanic culture- the side that breaks away from the stereotypical presentations during Hispanic Heritage Month. I want to show the relationship between the sacred and the profane that I believe we all share. I'm very excited about showcasing Duque's paintings. This collection of paintings truly allows us to choose a contemplative place within the paradigms of life or death where we can smile or mourn- alone or as a collective. The work of Moises Morales Duque accomplishes that." - Rolando Chang Barrero, curator ______ Saturday, October 2, 2021 7 PM “Artistas de Las Americas”- Art Salon and Exhibition Saturday, October 2, 2021 7 PM https://www.eventbrite.com/e/artistas-de-las-americas-art-salon-and-hispanic-heritage-exhibition-tickets-168953714107 Location: The Box Gallery, 811 Belvedere Rd.,West Palm Beach Florida 33405 Artists: Juan Carlos Badia Cabero (España/Honduras), Ivonne Torres (Mejico), Oscar Rojas (Venezuela), Clara Piquet (Brasil/ Brazil), Nelson Babilonia (Puerto Rico), Christine Nightingale (Chile), Moises Morales Duque (Colombia), Nereyda Ruíz (Republica Dominicana), Juan Ramirez (Colombia) ______ Friday, October 8, 2021 7 PM “Los Escritores-The Writers" - Book Reading and Signing Friday, October 8, 2021 7 PM RSVP https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hispanic-heritage-los-escritores-the-writers-book-reading-and-signing-tickets-168955758221 Location: The Box Gallery, 811 Belvedere Rd.,West Palm Beach Florida 33405 Latin American Authors: Eduardo Hernandez de la Pava, Jose Diaz-Diaz, Delia Marina Sanchez, and Ana Builes.

Jose Marti: Cuban poet, philosopher, essayist, journalist, translator, professor, and publisher, who is considered a Cuban national hero because of his role in the liberation of his country. He was also an important figure in Latin American literature. He was very politically active and is considered an important revolutionary philosopher and political theorist. Through his writings and political activity, he became a symbol of Cuba's bid for independence from the Spanish Empire in the 19th century, and is referred to as the "Apostle of Cuban Independence". From adolescence, he dedicated his life to the promotion of liberty, political independence for Cuba, and intellectual independence for all Spanish Americans; his death was used as a cry for Cuban independence from Spain by both the Cuban revolutionaries and those Cubans previously reluctant to start a revolt. ______ October 15, 2021 7-9 PM Stewardship and Conservation October 15, 2021 7-9 PM https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-environment-stewardship-and-conservation-roundtable-tickets-168960598699 Location: The Box Gallery, 811 Belvedere Rd.,West Palm Beach Florida 33405 Environmental Roundtable: Stewardship and Conservation Speakers and Presenters: Paul Fisher - The Gorilla Foundation and Palm Beach Parrot Organization Drew Martin - Sierra Club Loxahatchee Group Ginny Shaller - Collector Matthew Schwartz -South Florida Wildlands Association Moises Morales Duque - Sembrando Huellas Fundacion The Box Gallery a 4,000 square feet multi-media exhibition space that will serve the art community and art patrons with world class exhibitions, projections, performance art, and installation art.
