Young Art 2025
Young Art 2025 features a vibrant selection of artworks created by participants in La Casita’s community programs throughout the 2024–2025 academic year. The installation showcases projects from the Open Art Studio and the Design Workshop, where youth explored Latino cultural traditions through collaborative, hands-on workshops. Highlights include miniature piragua-style street vendor carts designed under the guidance of SU Architecture alumna Sofía Gutiérrez; community quilts, “puzzle paintings”, and artist books guided by Creative Arts Therapy student Bennie Guzmán and master printmaker Carrie Valenzuela; and colorful piñatas inspired by Latin American celebrations.
Admission to the gallery is free and open to the public. La Casita is on the ground floor of the Lincoln Building at 109 Otisco St. in Syracuse.
