About this Event

Hosted by: Joe and Alice DiFiglia and Free the People

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating artistic integrity and the unquenchable human spirit that drives each of us to be free.

“Be careful, you are on the edge. They are watching.” That’s how Cuban-born artist Carlos Luna was warned by a trusted teacher that his art would get him in trouble with Fidel Castro’s authoritarian regime. This warning echoed Carlos’ grandmother, who had already told him at age 13 that he would need to leave his family and home if he wanted to be free to pursue his craft. So began a hero’s journey to create what Carlos calls “The Free Life” from Cuba, to Mexico, to finally, Miami.

We are excited to invite you to join Carlos, and his wife Claudia, on this beautiful journey at an exclusive screening of Free the People’s new film: ‘The Free Life: Portrait of an Artist.’ Please join us on October 12, 2024 at the Basie Center Cinemas in Red Bank, NJ.
