Si, Se Puede: Expressions of Latino Culture exhibit at the Ink People.

For the last several years, show founder and curator, Jamie Binder, worked seemingly tirelessly to make connections and encourage Latino artists to make art and share it with the community.  This past year, we lost Jamie to the universe, but his spirit is still alive in this exhibit that he cared so much about.  The show is dedicated to his memory, and his wife, Carol, is sharing some of her favorite paintings of his with us.  As always, local Latino artists will share their unique visions and celebrate the vibrant Latino culture. 

Also dear to Jamie’s heart was initiating a local public celebration of Mexican Independence Day on September 16th.  Thanks to Suzanne Guerra and Helen L’Annunziata, this will continue.  First 5 Humboldt’s Better Together Program is helping to fund this celebration.  For more details or to volunteer to help, please contact Suzanne at sguerra@humboldt1.com.
