The Decisive Dream – Photographs by Cuban-American artist Gory (Rogelio López Marín)

UPDATE – This exhibition has been extended through October 11.

His presentation last spring at UNC Asheville received such a great response that we are excited to be able to exhibit his photographs now in Asheville.”
