Thursday February 18th at 7pm CFAC will show Blossoms of Fire, a film by Maureen Gosling and Ellen Osborne, followed by a discussion by Dr. Alejandro Garcia.
Community Folk Art Center, 805 East Genesee Street in Syracuse, hosts, Tesoros del Pueblo: El Arte Folklórico de México/Treasures of the People: The Folk Art of Mexico. The exhibition will be on view in Gallery 805, the Herbert T. Williams Gallery and the Corridor Gallery from January 23rd through May 5th, 2010.
Tesoros del Pueblo: El Arte Folklórico de México features folk art and photographs from the collection of Dr. Alejandro Garcia, Professor of Social Work at Syracuse University. Garcia began collecting Mexican folk art several years ago as a means to connect with his heritage.
Garcia explains, “This collection, in essence, represents who I am, my pride in the richness of Mexican culture, and my celebration of the artistry of Mexican individuals who, in their carving, painting, sewing, and molding, present all of us with precious gifts.”
