Independent Curator

"Sergio Gomez is a present day iconoclast: successful artist, curator, instructor, and promoter. Other than his talent as an artist, perhaps his most important traits are his curiosity and empathy. I had the wieasure to meet and work with Sergio Gomez as we co-curat-ed the Border Crossings exhibition for the 2014 Chicago Art Fair. With an impeccable work ethic, he generously shared his vast knowledge of the Chicago Latino art scene and continuously collaborated on cultural exchange between Mexico and Chicago."

Cesáreo Moreno
Chief Curator, National Museum of Mexican Art

"Sergio is talented, resourceful, respectful & generous. Sergio has enriched the Chicago metro area with his painting and his ability to organize, curate and share the gallery walls. He has exemplified the power of working collectively - in community and solidarity. By providing space and opportunity to come together, his philanthropic approach to creating art has advanced the Midwest community of working artists. His aspirations of building bridges between artists and cities across the globe have gained him the respect of his peers, as well as those who work in the cultural and humanities fields. Sergio is a writer and thinking artist who repeatedly looks beyond the canvas to recognize the necessity of the arts in our world."

Jason John
Associate Professor of Painting and Drawing/ Program Head. University of North Florida

"Sergio’s presentation to our students was one of the best I have seen in quite some time. The next day discussions with our students about the ingenuity of the artist was more than I could ever ask for. Students were extremely motivated by Sergio’s enthusiasm and drive. His advice really hit home for all of us. I am extremely excited for Sergio to come back again as soon as he can."
