About GALERIA 409 .......
In my opinion Galeria 409 has been established in one of the many historical buildings that make downtown Brownsville unique and stand out from others cities.. From my understanding Galeria 409 a business, currently not a non-profit, is owned by Mark Clark who is also an artist who's work and studio occupy a room in the upstairs of the gallery... From what I have seen Marks works have been studies reflecting his interpretation of the Mexican culture, and regional historical events including several works of saints and demons,which I thought were a dramatic change to his previous work which was more of an American pop culture style.
As it has been seen in the last 3 years Galeria 409 is a gallery that mostly features and represents the work of Cliff Welty, Cande Aguilar, Oscar Alvarez, Paul Valadez, Chris Leonard and Franchute......
Galeria 409 in occasions calls for local artist in open themed group art shows.
Galeria 409 has also been a venue for more than several musical events, cause events and poetry readings which has helped gain its popularity .
Similar venues in the downtown area include: Historic Alonzo Building, Heritage Complex and University of Texas at Brownsville -Rustenburg Art Gallery..
