ABOUT THE SHOW
Foundry Vineyards Gallery is honored to share Juventino Aranda's work in his hometown of Walla Walla. Further, Juventino is the featured artist on this year's Artisan Blend, which will be released this weekend. Please join us in celebrating his remarkable talent on Friday, November 3 from 5:30-7:30 pm.
Aranda’s work expresses a search for identity at the intersection of Mexico and America. Born to Mexican immigrants in Walla Walla, Washington, much of his recent work draws on his family history and particularities of his childhood that speak to foreignness in his native land.
ABOUT THE ARTIST(S)
Juventino lives and works in Walla Walla and received his BFA from Eastern Washington University. Solo exhibitions of his work include "Weed the Lawn and Feed the Roses" at Greg Kucera Gallery, Seattle (2017). He has participated in group shows at Terrain (2016, 2015) and Saranac Art Projects (2016) in Spokane, WA, and Center on Contemporary Art, Seattle (2016), among other venues. Aranda received the 2016 James W. Ray Venture Project Award, which is funded by the Raynier Institute & Foundation through the Frye Art Museum | Artist Trust Consortium. The award supports and advances the creative work of outstanding artists living and working in Washington State and culminates in an exhibition at the Frye Art Museum.
