July Art On The Ave Event

Join us at East Ave Gallery for July’s Art on the Ave, featuring the opening reception of Rest Is Radical, a solo exhibition by Sylvia Sykes. Through powerful figurative paintings, Sykes explores rest as an act of healing, resistance, and reclaiming space in a world that often demands constant productivity.
Celebrate the opening with an afternoon of art, conversation, and community while enjoying delicious food from La Reina Boricua truck serving authentic Puerto Rican island flavors.
