Opening of Strange Hope!

Last Friday Galeria de la Raza held a reception for Strange Hope, an exhibit honoring new beginnings, creativity and resourcefulness! The participating artists traded art pieces trough a one time lottery.

Guillermo Gomez Peña performed an inspiring piece about trading, cautious optimism and the role of artists in new creative economies. I won a piece by Jaime Cortez, who was also the event's Master of Ceremonies! How lucky am I?

Here's a shot from the reception and artwork by Juana Alicia and John Leaños.
