Opening Reception

The once Fivepoints Annex, is now; a mano, a collaborative artists studio and gallery space owned by artist; Jenna Gonzalez. The opening reception for the new a mano gallery was held on Saturday, April 20. With a steady trickle of visitors, a mano opened its doors with live handpan music by Jim Lo Presti, light snacks and lots of art from a handful of different artists. We are off to a great start and looking forward to the ribbon cutting ceremony, with Mayor Elinor Carbone on Wednesday May 1. Thank you to everyone who showed support and came out to the reception. Community is everything to us. We are happy to be in the neighborhood.

Classroom to Gallery Program.

Our 'Classroom to Gallery Program' offers a bridge from classroom creativity to real-world artistry, providing a transformative opportunity for standout students.

Through this initiative, participants receive the Future Makers Award, recognizing their talent and dedication. By showcasing their work in a local fine art gallery, these students gain firsthand experience in the professional art world, offering them a glimpse into the life of a working artist.

It's all about community support and offering young artists the chance to explore their potential in a real-world setting.a Mano is delighted to be featuring two ceramics students from The Gilbert School in Winstead.

Congratulations Karen Mendoza-Garcia and Haelynn-Rae Derby
