Welcome to ArtVan‘s second exhibit featuring 100 artists of all ages and art styles. In collaboration with MAIZ Colombian Street Food in Brunswick, this year’s theme is Pásala Bacano. A saying MAIZ highlights in neon lights behind their bar translates to Have a good time! Good vibes! The exhibit will be held in the MAIZ foyer on Pleasant Street. Each original work of art explores an individual’s expression incorporating joyful memories or local and multicultural connection.
