From murals and exhibition walls to pride month designs for local sports teams, San Jose-based artist Houyee Chow-Jiménez has been making an impact in the Bay and we’re proud to have her headline alongside an incredible ensemble of emerging artists, at APAture 2024’s visual arts exhibition at Arc Gallery & Studios! Join us on October 18th for the opening reception! The exhibition will be on view at Arc Gallery & Studios until November 9th’s closing reception. 

The theme for this year is RETURN. From the Palestinian right to return, the call for Indigenous Land Back, and the various migrant histories and struggle for justice in our Pacific Islander and Asian communities, artists consider  what the idea of return means to them.
