Ruben Natal-San Miguel + Fitchburg Art Museum

Ruben Natal-San Miguel is a photographer known for his captivating portraits of strangers and passersby. The artist’s work honors the unconventional and the unique, highlighting beauty, strength, and joy in everyday people. His work is a part of the Fitchburg Art Museum’s permanent collection and was recently featured in a 2020 exhibition entitled The BIG Picture. Natal-San Miguel traveled to Fitchburg for this exhibition and fell in love with the spirit of the community.

Fitchburg You R Beautiful is Natal-San Miguel’s tribute to the city and its people. The portraits in this online exhibition were taken by Natal-San Miguel outside of the Fitchburg Art Museum on September 25, 2021. The images are a celebration and permanent record of the people that make up the museum’s community.

This program was organized by Ruben Natal-San Miguel and Terrana Assistant Curator Marjorie Rawle. A special thanks to Natal-San Miguel for conceiving of this idea and offering his time to travel to Fitchburg, and to Collection Manager Charlie Cruz for his help during the event.
