Indy Latina Artists’ inaugural exhibition, A Ver, runs September 17 through October 9 at the Saks Fifth Avenue third floor Art Gallery at Keystone Crossing. The exhibition features works from Nettie Viera, Elisa Barety, Mara Abigail Sanchetti, Frances A. Ruiz, Gaby Mojica, Teresa Vasquez, Vanessa Monfreda, Dulce Mahely Cervantes, Mary E. Mindiola, Mirvia Rivera Eckert, Beatriz Vasquez Art, Joy the Stampede: Joy Hernandez Art, Giselle Trujillo, and Rosa Maria Díes.

The show takes its name from the Spanish expression, “Yo voy a ir a ver la exhibición,” “I’m going to go see the exhibition.” “A ver” can also mean “let’s see,” and serves as an invitation for the larger Indianapolis community to come see 2-dimensional artwork by this group, comprised of people who identify as female and of Latino descent or heritage.

Indy Latina Artists (ILA) was founded in the fall of 2021 by Mirvia Sol Eckert and Mary E. Mindiola to create community through art, to recognize the contribution of Latinas in the arts, and to empower, mentor, encourage, and promote the work, as well as to provide a showcase for Latina artists and their voices.
