CASITA MARIA GALLERY EXHIBITION FEATURES 
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WORK 

Youth of the Bronx are the truth! All summer Casita Maria's high school interns of the Artworks program worked on putting together this exhibition. 

Entitled "How Can We Trust, If We Can't Trust Our Own Thoughts?" this powerful collection of pieces is inspired by subjects such as unity, social disparity, equality and perspectives. 

Visit Casita Maria Gallery on 928 Simpson Street in the South Bronx Mondays through Friday 10AM - 6PM.

Invite your friends on Facebook.
