| Event Description |
The NTC Foundation in conjunction with Jean Isaacs San Diego Dance Theater and Minerva Tapia Dance Group presents a special summer exhibition featuring two photographers of dance, Jennifer Spencer and Julio Rodriguez Ramos at the Mandell Weiss Gallery in Dance Place San Diego at NTC Promenade.
The exhibit is part of this year’s Binational Choreographic Showcase, which focuses on enhancing the relationships in cross-border art activities. The two photographers have created the exhibit to engage dancers, choreographers and their audiences, and the visual arts community to enhance those relationships, meet, study each other’s work, and initiate future collaborations.
The Mandell Weiss Gallery is open daily from 9am to 8am and is located within the first floor corridors of Dance Place San Diego, 2650 Truxtun Road in Point Loma.
