Elyse A. Gonzalez
Director, Ruby City
Ruby City announced its first major exhibition with Director Elyse A. Gonzalez, Tangible/ Nothing. Gonzales joined Ruby City as their Director in December 2019. About the exhibition, Gonzales says, “Tangible/Nothing taps into our collective experience of absence and presence over the past two years when the physical separation from family and friends necessitated finding all manner of ways to connect with them in absentia—with many experiencing permanent loss.” The exhibition will be on display through April 30, 2023. Congratulations to these amazing women making moves in their industries!
