The Matheson History Museum will hold an opening reception for the mini-exhibit “Refugee Resettlement in Gainesville” on Wednesday, May 14.
This free event will start at 7 p.m. at the Matheson House (528 SE 1st Ave., Gainesville)
From 2024 right up until presidential inauguration day in 2025, the Greater Gainesville International Center worked with the International Rescue Committee to resettle six refugee families here in Gainesville.
The exhibit is a story of some of these refugees as told through art. The mini exhibition will feature pen and ink drawings by Gainesville artist Terrence Ho.
The Greater Gainesville International Center’s mission is to celebrate, elevate and empower our diverse international community and to better connect Gainesville with the rest of the world.
