CHAC South Presents

"Ten by Five"



CHAC will host Ten by Five, celebrating the tenth annual exhibition gathering of artists Hunter Lawrence, Clara Martinez, Sylvia Montero, Tony Ortega and Eugene Stewart-Huidobro.  The artists will exhibit recent and current work in a variety of media.  The exhibition opens with a reception on Friday, November 4, and will run through Saturday, November 19. 
 

CHAC Norte Artists for November:

 

Expressions of Identity: A Journey of Discovery will debut at the Chicano Humanities Arts Council (772 Santa Fe)Nov.4- Dec.3. The exhibition is a collaborative effort between Metropolitan State University of Denver Journey Through Our Heritage programs (an indigenous based outreach program), local artist and local high schools in celebration of Native American Heritage month. 

Traditionally the month has been a time of celebrating the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, histories and important contributions of Native people. It is also an opportity to educate the general public about indigenous identity and the unique challenges Native people have faced. 

“This is an extremely unique art show” says Arlette Lucero curator and artist in residence with JTOH program. “Starting in September we began sending a wonderful team of 15 college mentors into the high schools to work with students on issues of identity as part of the yearlong MSU JTOH academic knowledge bowl.”

 

The MSU Denver JTOH program recognizes the indigenous identity of Chicano/ Mexicano and African American students. The CHAC show focuses on themes of contemporary cultural identity among the students. Local Chicana artist Arlette Lucero and Apache artist Atekpatzin, along with MSU students Damaris Santos, Michelle Mejia, Seth Casias, Dominic Baca and high school students from Ace Community Challenge will explore the concept of indigenous identity through expressions of self.

 Free opening reception for the art show at CHAC is Nov. 4 at 6 p.m.

Tzotzollin will also release their new C.D. Temaliztli Teocuicameh: Music of Purification and Healing. 

 For more information on the art show call 303-571-0440 or visit www.chacweb.org.​

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.
