In Conversation with Artists: Dahlia Dreszer & Ray Tenorio

Artists Dahlia Dreszer and Ray Tenorio Viera discuss their creative practices during an intimate gallery conversation at The Betsy Hotel in Miami Beach. In Conversation with Artists: Dahlia Dreszer & Ray Tenorio takes place Thursday, March 29 in the Art Deco Wing’s Hohauser galleries, where the artists will be joined by Betsy owner and curator Lesley Goldwasser.

The program offers insight into the artists’ backgrounds, influences and current work, with time for audience questions and informal discussion. Surrounded by pieces from The Betsy’s art collection, the evening explores themes of cultural storytelling, identity and artistic process.

Dahlia Dreszer, a Panama-born photo-based artist living in Miami, creates large-format photographs and installations that examine identity, memory and heritage through staged imagery and still-life compositions. Ray Tenorio Viera, born in Havana and now based in Miami, draws from Surrealism, Expressionism and folklore traditions to create vivid works characterized by bold color, fluid line and mythic imagery.

The event is part of The Betsy’s ongoing conversation series highlighting contemporary artists and their work. Light refreshments will be served and RSVP is recommended due to limited space.
