IENA CRUZ
VISITOR CENTER'S FIRST ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
RESIDENCY:
SEPTEMBER 15 - 30, 2022
EXHIBITION:
OCTOBER 1ST - NOVEMBER 15, 2022

Federico Massa (known professionally as iena Cruz) has been selected as VISITOR CENTER’s inaugural artist-in-residence.
Much of iena Cruz’s work is inspired by the ever-growing threat of climate crises.

As part of VISITOR CENTER’s mission to support emerging interdisciplinary artists of the Hudson Valley and beyond, the invitational residency will provide space for creative investigation and experimentation with new concepts or materials. During the self-directed residency, artists are encouraged to experiment with a new body of work or develop a new process and are invited to engage with Newburgh’s local community. On Saturday, October 1 st , VISITOR CENTER will present a series of new works by Cruz created during his two-week residency in Newburgh with a never-before-showcased series of glazed ceramics. Spanning the entire gallery, the comprehensive presentation will chart the recent evolution of Cruz’s practice. #streetart
