A grocery store turned art gallery? Only in the East Village
Briefly

The Village Gourmet Grocery in the East Village is showcasing Miami-born artist Juan Jose Heredia's surreal paintings as part of Desnivel Gallery's innovative exhibition. Running through June 29, the show features Heredia's works created on burlap, capturing both motion and meditative depth. The unusual setting invites patrons to engage with art amidst their everyday shopping routine, highlighting Desnivel's mission to make art accessible to a broader audience while addressing the financial challenges of maintaining traditional art spaces.
Desnivel aims to increase visibility and accessibility, allowing the artwork to be seen and experienced at various unconventional locations, engaging everyday people.
Juan Jose Heredia's paintings, created on soft fabrics, evoke a meditative depth and reflect his inspiration from the hazy visuals of North Miami.
