Greñapunk is an artshow where every art form converges to talk about being Afro (Greña) in the future. The artist, Eddaviel is from the Dominican Republic, and has worked with films, advertising, publishers, galleries, museums, universities and cultural centers around the world.  

PERSEVERANCE is an exhibition by Dice White, a 19-year-old artist from Rockford, Illinois, whose current success is a testament to the human spirit surmounting the impact of a mother addicted to drugs, his own psychological distress, and the challenge of homelessness. Dice has found a life in creating art that is boldly expressive, colorful, and complex.
