Step Into the Ring

Join the us for the opening reception of Geraldo "The King of Transit" Gonzalez: Solo Exhibition in the Holden Gallery!

Experience a collection filled with bold colors, transit-inspired artwork, and personal stories. Through each piece, Geraldo celebrates his Puerto Rican heritage, his lifelong passion for transportation, and the unique lens through which he sees the world.

Geraldo loves talking with visitors about his work, process, and artistic journey. This is a wonderful opportunity to hear the stories behind the art.

Over the course of his career, Geraldo has exhibited his work in numerous solo and group exhibitions. Most recently, he was recognized with the 2025 Delaware Division of the Arts Established Artist Fellowship, honoring his outstanding contributions as a visual artist.

The exhibit will be on view from August October 1st
