Art at The Acorn - Artist Reception for Nicolina Holt: Been a Boy

The Acorn Center for the Performing Arts transforms into a visual art space with our initiative, Art at The Acorn. We are proud to welcome our new artist, Nicolina Holt and her exhibit Been a Boy.

The exhibition is a selection of framed photographs of women breaking societal norms, a celebration of women, and an urgency to continue to dismantle stereotypes and expectations.

Artist Reception is free and open to the public.

-Light bites | Cash bar

Nicolina will also share a special body of work the night of the Artist Reception only – featuring photographs from her Irrelevant Series. This series focuses on the loss of the American dream and the imposed limitations of marginalized groups.
