sign Curatorial Work on the Mills International Center Gallery
Currently, I work as exhibit curator at the Mills International Center (MIC). We organize community-based art shows and opening receptions with different performers and artists. The works at the MIC is fundamental to motivate and support local artists. I have been developing a partnership with Eugene Arte Latino and with the Latin America community as well as with international students and broader Eugene public.

You will be able to check some of the past events and graphic designs that I have designed, or helped to put up. There are also samples of surveys and other materials prepared to the exhibits.

Here we see the fee for the basic sound equipment rent. We consider an important strategy to host music performances and to guarantee the sound quality and ambiance.
As another strategy to better receive the guests it is important to offer some appetizers and refreshments to the public here we see the estimate price for 50 people.
