🎨 Now on display: Jerry Loza, a Mexican American Marine veteran raised on the west side of Chicago.

If you haven't made it over to the Broadview Public Library District to see the work of Jerry Loza, his art is on display until the end of September in the Lower Level Art Gallery!

Artist Statement:
I'm Mexican American veteran raised on the west side of Chicago. I served 4 years in the Marines after high school. I'm involved in multiple veteran art groups. I've discovered the healing nature of art. Helping others helps with my own journey.
All of my work is painted on my Note20 phone using Artrage Vitae.
Starting to use an iPad in 2026.

Follow Jerry on Instagram or find him on Facebook (QR codes are on the flyer). To learn more about our Art Gallery, visit broadviewlibrary.org/services/artgallery/

Stop by, take a look, and tell us which piece is your favorite! 💙
