    What You Give

    The Latino Center of Art and Culture is proud to announce a new art exhibition launching this March: "What You Give," curated by Manuel Fernando Rios and Jose Arenas. The Opening Reception will take place Saturday, March 11th from 5-8pm. Come and join us for an evening full of art!


    The Exhibition
    Chicanismo is a way of life. It is an ideology that puts emphasis on culture, identity, community, and education. In the exhibition What You Give, curators Rios and Arenas invited Chicana/o/x instructors Gina Aparicio, Sandi Escobar, Eddie Lampkin and Elyse Doyle Martinez to present work alongside their students. These educators use art to foster youth development at UC Davis, TANA (Woodland), Sierra College (Rocklin), Woodland Community College and Cache Creek High School (Woodland). The presentation What You Give will create a dialogue between these Chicana/o/x teachers and the students they instruct, going beyond the technical aspects of visual arts education into ideas of mentorship, community and a diversity of visual expression.
