Join us on Friday, November 21 for CATHARSIS, La Plaza’s first self-produced art exhibition of 2025. This show unleashes the power of release, shedding what weighs us down through raw, emotional expression. Step into the world of San José artists and experience their powerful multimedia works as they purge, confront, and set their emotions free.

The exhibition runs from November 21, 2025 through January 5, 2026.
