Greenville Library’s 2022 Hispanic Heritage Month Art Exhibit
Letters: An Art Exhibit featuring Zachary Diaz
September 15–October 15 •
Hughes Main Library Diaz’s Letters explores the connection we share with strangers through a collection of anonymous reflective letters accompanied by the artwork they inspired.
Zachary Antonio Diaz (b. 1991) is an international visual artist and graphic designer. His current work explores the multitude of ways in which humans can connect. Using personal reflections of his own, teamed with anonymous reflective letters from the public, his narrative drawings and paintings seek to challenge the viewer’s perception of themselves, their surroundings, and each other.
Event sponsored by the SC Commission for Minority Affairs and Palmetto Luna Arts.
