Bajo El Sol Gallery in Mongoose Junction will be hosting a fundraising event, “The Black Mermaid Comes to St. John.” Proceeds from this pop-up art show and book signing will go towards supporting the Outdoor Learning Summer Creative Arts and Literacy Workshop in Cruz Bay, St. John. It will feature artwork by emerging visual artist Carla M. Sewer, Ph.D., director of the workshop. In addition, Sewer will be signing and reading excerpts from the first edition of her just-released memoir, “Child of the U.S. Virgin Islands.” The workshop is for children ages 5 to 15 years living or visiting family on St. John during the months of June to August. Bajo El Sol Gallery and Art Bar is a hybrid art gallery, bookstore, café, and rum and cocktail bar.
