CHAC Norte Artists for December:
Michael Penny- Myths, symbols, and legends permeate all languages, cultures and lives. The influence mythology has in our most basic traditions can be observed in the language, customs, rituals, values and morals of every culture. One way of understanding a culture is to study the underlying mythological beliefs, the symbols used to represent myths, and understanding the legends of a culture. Such an exploration leads to a greater understanding of the essence of a culture.
I try to express the myths, symbols, and legends of ancient cultures through my art.
Stevon Lucero has reached the third and final stage of his life, painting his profound visions with power and beauty. His prices for the large Metarealism has permanently gone up. Smaller quick pieces are not only affordable, but priced to sell.
Daniel Luna- Come join Daniel as he shares his wonderful Imagination through his artistic expression

Lunapparel, LLC Press Release November 2016  Sat., Dec 10th from Noon – 4pm, Susan M. Luna will show some of her new line of clothing through Lunapparel, LLC at CHAC Gallery 774 Santa Fe, Denver, CO. There will be food, drinks, and a short fashion show at 1pm. Vibrant skirts, colorful yoga pants, scarfs and patches will be for sale. Designs created by Susan and Daniel Luna. Great gifts for the holidays! Unique wrapping and bags included.  As a young girl, Susan grew-up around artists and athletes: her parents and five older brothers. Father Dan Sr., a talented tennis player, and mother Jessica Luna (Martinez), an established Colorado artist, created a home environment that celebrated the joy of creativity on both the court and the canvas. Susan has begun to capture these positive influences in her life by creating “fashion art” in her new line of Athleisure Wear, using artwork that is culturally unique to the Luna Family. “As a strong Latina, I want to wear clothes that make a bold artistic statement on and off the court.” |

"Regresarás - to return"
 Holding it all together, 50" x 52" mixed media, Tony Diego
Friday January 6th through January 28th,
Parental child abduction is one of the most significant and least understood human rights issues and although it is becoming more widespread, it has affected children and families as long as people have been negotiating the intersections of community, culture, nation and state. Parental child abduction jeopardizes a child’s connection to their left behind family and may result in the fragmentation of culture as well as the loss of language, social connection and community. It violates numerous rights of the child and can cause severe psychological and emotional trauma for both the abducted child and the parent left behind. The purpose of this art exhibit is to raise public awareness of this issue and to simultaneously stimulate dialogue and healing for affected families.
The artist featured in this exhibit are; Tony Diego, Izzy and Paloma Lozano, Josiah Lopez, Christine O’Dea, Alicia Cardenas, Azul and Sheila Olsen. |
