We cordially invite you to the opening reception of Yochi Y. Avin's exhibition titled "Loose Ends and Other Repairs." The event will take place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the Sardiñas Gallery, St. Thomas University. We hope to see you there!

Free Admission and Parking, refreshments will be provided.

Yochi Avin’s work is an ongoing exploration of memory—its fragility, persistence, and transformation over time. She is drawn to the ways personal and collective histories are layered, inherited, deconstructed, and reassembled, creating visible traces that linger between presence and absence. Working across painting, fiber art, photography, installation, and performance, Avin often combines sheer fabrics, faded photographs, reflective surfaces, and thread with industrial or weathered materials, producing spaces where intimacy and endurance intersect. Her processes of stitching, layering, and image transfer treat memory as a tactile, living material—capable of being fragmented, reconstructed, and transformed.

Saturday, October 25, 2026, 2 p.m. - 5 p.m.

St. Thomas University's Sardiñas Gallery is opening the exhibition "Ephemeral Flora" by Tony Fernandez.

His collection of photographs captures plants as though they are characters in an unfolding story: mangroves reaching into brackish waters, wildflowers bending in the wind, and ficus trees gripping coral rock walls. These plants appear less like mere specimens and more like survivors—immigrants and natives negotiating their space. Each root and tendril traces a history of displacement, resilience, and belonging.

Meet the photographer in person at the opening & reception on Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

"Double Homage" by Frank Izquierdo on Saturday, November 1, 2025, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Curated by Miguel Rodez.

'This exhibition offers a "double homage," celebrating the life and work of Frank Izquierdo (1981–2021) through his own admiration for the 18th-century Austrian sculptor Franz Xaver Messerschmidt.

Izquierdo, who passed away due to COVID-19 complications, was a versatile artist who purposefully blurred the lines between fine art and illustration.' - Miguel Rodez
