As a part of our yearly Celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Rahway Mayor Raymond Giacobbe and the Rahway City Council present WE+THEY=US!, The 4th Annual Celebration of Latin & Hispanic Artists at The Gallery Space (1670 Irving Street, Rahway) from September 18- October 14, 2022.   

The Artists featured in this exhibit are: Nelson Alvarez, Dante Guariglia, Jacqueline Hernandez, Caridad Sierra Kennedy, Sylvia Padilla Lalaleo, Manuel Macarrulla, Hernando Rico Sanchez and Vincent Zambrano.

Regular gallery hours are Monday-Friday 1:00pm-4:00pm.

The National Endowment For The Arts finds that the Arts are a powerful and important part of what unites us. The arts celebrate our differences while connecting us through shared experiences. It is precisely this ability, this action, that makes the Arts of All kinds such an important force in human life. It is a way to arrive at a broader sense of the world, to see the way that other people live and the values that we share or that are different than our own. Art brings insight, joy, empathy, understanding and a realization that we are All a lot more alike than we might believe. 

Artwork shown is by Manuel Macarrulla

Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites... 04/09/2026

"I am thoroughly looking forward to it, I have been looking forward to doing a tour like this since "Evergreen" started coming together, you know, coming to life; "Evergreen" has been an eight to ten year process, depending on where you want to start, it's a pretty good run of shows and I'm really excited about it."
