Gallery

Taller Arte Del Nuevo Amanecer (TANA) has an exhibition space of at least 1,200 square feet. We offer between four and six exhibitions per year in addition to hosting a variety of community events. The gallery also promotes the use of the facility for theater, dance performances, lectures, poetry readings and community meetings.
