Event Details

Join us in the Multicultural Center Art Gallery on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, from 5-6 p.m.

Orange County Arts & Cultural Affairs will present “Standing Firm” by Robert Rell in the Orange County Multicultural Center Art Gallery. An opening reception will be held on Wednesday, April 15, 2026. “Standing Firm” will be displayed through Tuesday, May 12, 2026.

Rell describes himself as a self-taught artist born in Newark, New Jersey, whose love for art began at a young age while reading comic strips, drawing his own imaginative characters, and adding storylines. As he grew older, his passion for art only intensified, inspired by local graffiti artists who exemplified creative freedom and the unrestricted nature of artistic expression.

“I like to incorporate multiple facets of my passion for art and sound within my work. I use colors, brush strokes, textures and style to represent emotions or experiences that occur throughout the creative process to express my art. I also incorporate the movement of sound and color into my paintings and art events to create a dynamic and immersive experience.”
