This show at the Manuel Felguerez Museum provides an overview of new and not so new artists out of the state of Jalisco, Mexico.  What is incredible about the state of Zacatecas, Mexico is the wealth of support and energy in the visual arts, well incredible to somebody like me from the US.  Here in these episodes we will look at this work being done and being exhibited here in this region, I encourage you all to come and enjoy.

Every Sunday for the past 9 years Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico has closed its main traffic arteries to cars and hosts the ViaRecreactiva – pedestrians, bicycles, skateboards and roller-blades, runners cover 64 km of cityscape.  Along the way are activities for children of all ages like arts workshops, chess, sports games as well as shopping in neighbouring stores, cafes and dining, and the presence of social service organizations and the Universities.  Its been a huge success, and versions exist throughout Latin America – notably in Bogota, Colombia and Santiago de Chile as well as Mexico City.  Participants enjoy the opportunity to exercise safely with their families and friends and to see their beautiful city in a fun stress free manner.

This video was made for the municipality of Guadalupe, Zacatecas, where leaders are developing a parallel event.
