Galería Cubana, 357 Commercial St. in Provincetown, is currently showing “Nuevo Mundo (New World),” paintings by Luis Rodríguez Noa, running through Monday, Aug. 16. Born from Covid isolation, Noa’s works are nonetheless infused with optimism and hope — a figurative symbolism of bright primary colors and doodle-like forms that aspire to connection. The gallery is open Monday, Thursday, and Sunday, 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.; closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
