Join us for an afternoon performance of classical music that inspired the artist Arturo E. Mosquera exhibition. Oscar Bustillo will perform samples of music by Mozart, Beethoven that echo the rhythmic brushstrokes, sweeping colors, and spiritual emotion in the paintings by Mosquera.
Oscar Bustillo was Music Director of the North Miami Beach Symphony, Purchase Chamber Orchestra, Florida West Coast Youth Symphony, and was Assistant Conductor to the Florida West Coast Symphony (now the Sarasota Orchestra) and the Bridgeport Symphony. He was guest conductor to the Guanxi Orchestra in China, Fort Wayne Philharmonic, Bozeman Symphony, Southwest Florida Symphony, Bridgeport Symphony, Norwalk Youth Symphony, Cannon Music Camp Orchestra, and the Kharkov Opera and Symphony (Ukraine), where he conducted the premieres of Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring and Fanfare for the Common Man in that part of the world.
After the performance enjoy a guided mindfulness practice using the work of Arturo E. Mosquera as the object of attention for the practice.

This is also the last day to view the exhibition Arturo E. Mosquera: The Big Bang exhibition.
Vibrant colors, confident brushstrokes, and rhythmic compositions embody the paintings of Arturo E. Mosquera. When looking at the work, the texture of the paint and the saturation of the pigment come together to form a symphony of sounds in the mind of observer. Whether drawing inspiration from the natural world as in his Pandemic Landscape Series and The Grand Teton National Park Series, from Michealangelo’s Sistine Chapel, from Comic Books, or from other artists that he admired, Mosquera created a visual language that is uniquely his own. This exhibition features over 50 paintings by Mosquera, and also includes some of the artists’ drawings, sketchbooks and works featured in the Mosquera Collection.
Arturo E. Mosquera (1982 – 2022) Born in Memphis, Tennessee, lived/ worked in Miami, FL. He attended Manchester College, Connecticut, where he concentrated in printmaking. Mosquera became interested in graffiti in his teens and his work, attached to this mode of expression, touches on dreams, death, love, beauty, friendship, and the imagination.
