Statement from New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance Commissioner Samuel D. Roberts: “SNAP and HEAP benefits and use of benefit cards vital to New Yorkers are not impacted by the federal government shutdown and are continuing to operate. Federal funding for these programs has already been secured and benefits will continue. Additionally, applications for these and other federally-funded programs will continue to be accepted.”
Portrait Workshop with Sofía Luz Pérez and Cayetano Valenzuela
Portrait Workshop with Sofía Luz Pérez and Cayetano Valenzuela
Join us for a two-part workshop with exhibiting artist Sofía Luz Pérez and Syracuse artist Cayetano Valenzuela. In this workshop, Cayetano Valenzuela and Sofía Luz Pérez will share their own practices and processes in making a portrait/self-portrait and ask participants to create a portrait or self-portrait. The emphasis of the portrait should be on identity and cultural background/ancestry, but they encourage everyone to delve into any part of themselves or the person they are drawn to portraying. This is a free workshop with limited space available. We ask that you attend both sessions. Art supplies will be provided and you are welcome to also bring your own.
