Presents "Future Artists of America Gallery" featuring Esteban Rivera, a recent graduate of St. Joseph Academy.  He developed his love of painting at age 12.  In his formative years, he enjoyed experimenting with different mediums and materials.  Esteban’s artistic efforts led to his first solo exhibition at the age of 16, Ventanas a lo desconocido (Windows to the Unknown), an event sponsored by the City of Matamoros in 2007.  The following year, the young artist was commissioned to paint a mural for Papalote: Museo del Niño, a renowned children’s museum in Cuernavaca, Mexico.  Artwork from that same collection was later exhibited at Tre Fratelli Restaurant in Brownsville, Texas in 2008.
