三、閱讀理解

• 6．     Growing up，Espino may have been better at sports than he was at graffiti（涂鴉），but his memories of hanging out with graffiti-writer friends and looking through graffiti books have stayed with him.After college，he went into the world of real estate，but continued to collect art.
      A few years later，Espino began selling prints and creative objects at local events.In May2022，he opened 1 Culture Gallery. "I wanted to see what it's like to run a gallery and I wanted to help artists learn and make money from their artworks，" he explains.
      The space caught the attention of Lou Jiménez，who is now the gallery's director.Jiménez shares Espino's vision to support local artists. "He comes from a different background and is leading by example，" she says of his real estate background. "He's taking a huge risk because it requires a lot of investment and there is no art market here，so I appreciate the fact that we're trying to expand that."
      Espino admits he initially underestimated how challenging sales can be.Even with this realization，his sights are set on success，and he's already put himself in a"bigger mindset" to steadily accomplish that.
      Espino hopes taking artists to other cities will provide the encouragement they might need to pursue a career in the arts.From his businessman's perspective，Espino feels people need to be taught on the value of supporting local talent. "A lot of people in the community need to be explained to how much difference it makes to the community to invest in local art and as sad as that is，they just don't see it or hear it，" he says.
      Not one to back down from a challenge，Espino and his team have the passion and determination to construct a platform that will help local artists and，if all goes according to his plan，they hope to have a significant impact on the local arts community and culture for many years to come.
