San Antonio is a city with a rich Mexican-American and Chicano arts and cultural heritage. However, this heritage has been largely excluded from mainstream K-12 educational resources. Thanks to Congressman Joaquin Castro’s work to secure funding for the arts and education on San Antonio’s Westside, Centro Cultural Aztlan has worked with educators, artists, and historians to develop a series of lesson plans and teaching materials to engage K-12 students in learning about Chicano art, cultural traditions, and history. As a product of this project, young artists from across San Antonio have created artwork with inspiration from some of the most notable Chicano artists of San Antonio and beyond. Join us at this project’s culminating art exhibition, featuring shining examples of student artwork that has resulted from this Chicano Arts Curriculum Series.

Join us at the opening reception on Thursday, May 16, 2024 from 6:00-9:00pm in the Galeria Expresion at 1800 Fredericksburg Road #103. Light refreshments will be served.

The exhibit is free and open to the public and will be on view through Thursday, June 6, 2024 Monday-Thursday, 10:00am-4:00pm.

Featured artists: Isabel Allen, Luke Bowley, Anna Buchanan-Klepp, Lam Chu, Lilia Deleon, Aniyah Edmonds, Angie Flores, Serenity Gonzalez-Soto, Annabelle Hansen, Maia Hutcheson, Isabella Jones, Lucy Juarez, Victoria Leal, Ximena Leon, Ciara Magnusson, Mirel Mejia, Jalyssa Moreno, Cece Nguyen, Nika Nochovka, Lilah Norris, Eva Pejic, Mackenzy Ramsey, Madelyn Recame, Dalainee Reyna-Resendez, Hayden Rice, Jackie Roper, Mishal Rosales, Marley Squeo, Sarah Suttle, Dyllan Swisher, Vera Troy, Ruben Antonio Vasquez, Jayden Yuen, and more.
