About this month’s Art for All artist, Nereida: 


Nereida is a visual artist from Sonora based in Rosarito.

She has exhibited individually in galleries and institutions in Mexicali, Oaxaca, Rosarito and Tijuana; and in group exhibitions in Mexico, the United States, and various parts of the world. Nereida will be the artist leading the collage workshop for all ages.
