Talento Oculto: A Jim del Pozo Art Exhibition

"Talento Oculto": A Jim del Pozo Art Exhibition 🎨
🗓️ Friday, May 8 | 4-7 PM | Free Event

Celebrate Jim del Pozo, one of our longest-tenured team members, as he becomes our resident artist with his debut exhibition called, "Talento Oculto" which translates to Hidden Talent. 

Jim doesn’t always prefer to say a lot of words. He knows many, he does say some, but chooses to show, display and connect in other ways. He has cultural roots from the Philippines, Spain, Canada and more; as his parents immigrated their family to Canada to plant new roots and use their talents. While Jim has displayed many talents throughout the years, whether it be musical, hands-on work and other roles such as bike mechanics, soldering chips and most recently in his career at Village Brewery where he’s been working in various areas of production.

Recently, a hidden talent has been discovered, as Jim demonstrated not only an affinity for painting, but a talent that he shares with his mother Cora. His father who recently passed away, Santiago, loved to see Jim’s “talento oculto”, as it’s the name that’s inspired this upcoming show for him. Over the past few years, Jim’s been working on his painting skills at a local studio, in addition to painting together with his mother as he’s found working on his art a wonderful way to express himself and work through the recent loss of his father. His work ranges from his pivotal “Burger”, which gave rise to using that image for his event. A burger, is much more than just a tasty meal; it’s a way he finds a break and connection with others throughout the day, or a reward at the end of a hard day’s work. Jim’s also taken inspiration from nature, the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary and other moments in time from his day to day.

We welcome you to join us on Friday May 8 from 4-7pm at Village Brewery for Jim’s first art show, "Talento Oculto". He will have his works on display, with some of his paintings on sale.
