Join Jonathan Christensen Caballero for an artist talk on Friday, August 6 at 7 PM at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery.

Jonathan Christensen Caballero’s exhibition La Gente/The People, on view in the Gallery, explores themes of race, class, familial ties, and labor issues.  Jonathan will discuss the inspiration and multiple layers of meaning in his work, and the technical aspects and materials used to create his life-sized, mixed-media sculptures.
