The Grand Opening is First Friday~June 3, 2022!

In July of 2020 due to the COVID pandemic, CHAC was forced to terminate its lease in the Santa Fe Arts District. CHAC has been working virtually and with partners in the Denver Metro Area to keep our organization alive. In May we will reopen a gallery space in the 40West Arts District. We need everything! Will you please help by donating to help us purchase the furniture and supplies needed? Scan QR code or click the button to donate.

Denver Native Indigenous/Chicana author releases new novel in June 2022.
Pre-order by clicking the image.

"Woman of Light is my heart song to my people. Based on the lives of my ancestors and nearly a decade of research, this epic novel inspired by classic Western film and old Hollywood is my tribute to my homeland and the culturally diverse people who created me. Woman of Light is about what it means to be human, to make mistakes, and to learn about who we are.
I put my everything into writing this novel for over ten years, and now I am beyond honored to share this story and these beautiful characters with you, dear readers. Thank you for coming with me for my first novel, my second book. I hope you’ll love these characters and their great big story of survival and fate. I made them with love for all of us. Designer and illustrator: @talgoretsky and in the coming months I’ll share more about the cover process."

Thank you and Xo,

Kali

CHAC Gallery & Cultural Center was founded in 1978 by a group of visual and performing artists. The organization was established as a place where Chicano/Latino artists were provided with a venue to explore visual and performance art and promote and preserve the Chicano/Latino culture through the expression of the arts.

CHAC is an inclusive community of creatives that are dedicated to preserving, showcasing, educating and reflecting the essence of Chicano/a/x, Latino/a/x and other multicultural/multiracial communities.
