Description
April at the Whitewater Arts Alliance’s Cultural Arts Center, 402 West Main Street, will celebrate art by Latino artists from both far and near. UW-Whitewater Crossman Gallery Director Michael Flanagan traveled to Oaxaca, Mexico with Emeritus Professor Charles Cottle in January of this year to select prints and drawings to display at the CAC. In addition, the show will feature art by Wisconsin artist Leticia Castillo, by local painter Enrique Esquipula, and by several other area artists; music by the Lincoln Elementary School Mariachi Band and the Mariachi Latino group from Harvard, Illinois; and poetry with UW-Whitewater Professor, Dr. Pilar Melero.
The Latino art exhibit will be on display at the CAC from Thursday, April 6 to Sunday, April 30 on Thursdays through Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. Visitors can enjoy the art for FREE.
On Thursday, April 20 at 7 p.m., Dr. Pilar Melero will lead poetry readings with “Latino Voices.”
