The Emerald Isle Immigration Center (EIIC) invites you to a solo art exhibition and sale featuring the work of Colombian painter Alejandro Pinzon. The exhibition takes place from October 23 to November 2 at Artifact Projects,155 Suffolk St., New York, NY 10002 with an opening reception October 23 & 24 from 6-8 pm. Proceeds to benefit Emerald Isle Immigration Center.

Alejandro Pinzón is one of six EIIC Creatives — accomplished artists and recipients of a two-year Creatives Rebuild New York Artist Employment Program grant to the Emerald Isle Immigration Center. 

He principally works in oil, and his pieces reflect his surroundings and everything that inspires his curiosity. 

His solo art exhibition and sale — Painted Dreams — is a wonderful opportunity to see how and where as an EIIC Creatives artist in support of immigration he found inspiration, be it in memories, lived experiences, stories, history, music, customs from his hometown and matters of personal effect. 

The EIIC team is dedicated to serving New Yorkers of diverse cultures from over 130 nations from Woodside, Queens, and Woodlawn, Bronx offices with a full suite of free, vital services. 

EIIC has harnessed the power of creativity to support pioneering artists – and raising awareness of its services among new communities of immigrants in the process.
