ArtOrg has worked on two big projects with Grupo Soap del Corazon in the past, and we are now is hosting information on their upcoming 11th anniversary exhibit called “El Milagro (The Miracle)” on our website. The exhibit’s opening event is Saturday, August 20 at Intermedia Arts on Lyndale Avenue in Minneapolis, and more information on the show can be seen here.
