The second year of the art exhibition, “Más Fuertes Unidos,” which means Stronger United, takes place as a pop-up show during the Haverhill Art Walk in September.
“Más Fuertes Unidos” is the brainchild of Melanie Palacios, a recent Haverhill High School graduate and now a freshman at the University of Miami. For this year’s exhibition, Palacios is inviting submissions from artists, ranging from high school students to adults, with Latinx cultural backgrounds and art mediums encouraged. Submissions will be accepted until Thursday, Sept. 12 at 11:59 p.m.
Organizers say this year’s exhibition aims to further enrich the community’s appreciation of cultural diversity through the power of art. Building on the success of her inaugural exhibition, she is again seeking submissions from local artists of artwork that reflects their Latinx cultural backgrounds.
In collaboration with Creative Haverhill and the Haverhill Art Walk program, the exhibition is open during the Haverhill Art Walk Saturday, Sept. 28, from 2-6 p.m., at 90 Washington St., in space owned by The Tap.
The submission form may be found here or at creativehaverhill.org.
