➡️We have more exciting news!! 🎉

🎨Join the Midway Business Association and Bohio Studio’s Soul and Movement Exhibition for a special afternoon as we celebrate Latin American folklore at one of our member businesses in collaboration with Victor Salinas with Ballet Folklórico Alma Mestiza at our first *Midway Monthly Mix!

Experience a vibrant afternoon filled with art, music, networking and community building! We come together to honor and share Latin American cultural and artistic heritage. Guests will also have the opportunity to experience Bohio Studio’s new gallery space and appreciate a special series of colorful, original collage artworks created by Hampton Rodriguez, all inspired by movement, tradition, and Latin American culture. The original art pieces are mixed media collages made on recycled paper and Transit Tickets! Every Oregonian deserves a piece of art from Bohio Studio!

Soul and Movement is a celebration where art, music, and dance come together to honor our roots and share the richness of our cultures. Every movement tells a story, every note awakens emotion, and every gathering strengthens the bonds of community.

The afternoon will feature a narrated tour of the art exhibition, light refreshments and networking. All art is also available for purchase! We are looking forward to seeing you!
