The show explores the themes of the America 250 | CT Commission through the lens of the Uruguayan-born artist who settled in Gaylordsville, CT.

Sylvester Poli’s Palace and Majestic theatres both opened in 1922. Long the center of downtown Bridgeport’s social life, the theatres closed in the 1970s. Jay Misencik and Geralene Valentine have been tracing this history beginning in 1991 through documentary photographs and recorded stories.

You are invited to the opening reception of "Making his Mark in Connecticut: The Creative Process of F. Luis Mora." Experience the drawings, prints, and paintings created by the first Hispanic Member of the National Academy of Design.
