Reinerio Tamayo's Solo Show at Arena Stage, Washington DC In collaboration with The Rodríguez Collection and the Caribbean Educational & Baseball Foundation (CEBF), Arena Stage is proud to present “Cuban Slugger,” an exhibition of Cuban artist Reynerio Tamayo featuring over 35 pieces of art. Launched in July 2017, coinciding with the All-Star Game in Miami, “Cuban Slugger” was shown at the Kendall Art Center, sponsored by The Rodríguez Collection and curated by Henry Ballate. This exhibition, which began at the Galería Habana in Cuba, now continues its journey and again coincides with the All-Star Game – which occurs this summer in Washington, D.C. at Nationals Park – and will be presented, revised and updated at Arena Stage for art lovers, baseball fans and the public. “Cuban Slugger” is a beautiful tribute to great figures of this sport and a journey through its history and the shared passion between the U.S. and Cuba.
