El Chante: Casa de Cultura

It is so good to be back with you all at Pimp That Muse! I missed you every moment that I was away. Anyway, my P.O. and I had a good, long, corazon de la corazon, and I think it's fair to say that it is going to be smooth sailing from here on out. (If a certain someone is reading this, I promise, to be good... I mean it this time....)

Anyway.

During my...vacation, I came upon this hot spot. Here is an institution worth giving a shout out to: El Chante: Casa de Cultura. 

If you've ever pictured the perfect DIY cultural center -- it's gonna look a lot like this. A spacious layout in a two-story historical house, the artwork is accentuated by hot-colored walls, con paint, ink, and attitude. It is run by a fantastic, hot, smart, sassy lady, who acts as manager and inspirational spirit of all that is good and lovely and kind...in a kick-ass sorta way. (And yeah, so it does sound like I'm kinda smitten, WTF? Am I right? Yeah, I'm right!)

And get this: El Chante: Casa de Cultura is having not one, but two art openings this Friday, November 16, 2012. VIDA: Photography of Arsenio Cordova

and The Art of Devotion: Contemporary and Traditional Retablo and Bulto -- by Jenina Carriaga-Lambert.


Music provided by Grupo Sangre de Cristo. 

Yes!

The shows run from November 16th, 2012 to January 19, 2013.
