This year our Fashion Show FUN-draiser will be held in conjunction with Day of the Dead – Dia De Los Muertos festivities. As a service learning project that we are doing with OLLUSA students and Professor Deborah Kuetzpalin Vasquez we decided to change the format. The title of the event is:
“Chale con el Pleito – Stop the Fighting
Arriba con Las Cholas” – Long-Live the Cholas!
In our never ending search to find new, innovative, unique ways of disseminating our message of non-violence this fashion show will go off with a different twist. First, we are using the venue of the Gallista Art Gallery www.gallista.org, 1913 S. Flores, SATx, 78205. Surrounded by art we’ll be reclaiming culture as a strength, as a form of grounding that instills pride, power of identity and positive self-worth. We are setting up a transformation studio, runway and ambiance to profile the power of reclaiming the “Chola” concept. There we will lift up the Chola as a powerful figura of our cultura. The chola will be about her self selected “look”. She will shed the image of violent gang fighter, territorial abuser, irresponsible gang member that in reality is very afraid at her core and be transformed into a strong, confidant, empowered activist, change agent, cultura promoter and creator, community builder, people power organizer and peace maker who cannot and will not be a victim or victimizer.
Anchored in our common childhood histories of making do with what you have, local artists will bring to life the experience of playing with paper dolls. They will create outfits of art for each of our Chola models that will then be auctioned off.

We will be having a Black Light Art Party on Halloween Night at the Calcasieu Gallery downtown! We will be celebrating a new art exhibit with new art and new artists and will be featuring the art of George Cisneros, Alex Ramirez and MoMo and are happy to have them on board this opening. We are particularly excited to have the opportunity to show the work of George Cisneros, an alumni of the San Antoino artists community. Here is a write up about George from his exhibit at Artpace: “Born in 1951, Cisneros was raised and continues to live and work in San Antonio, TX. He holds a BA in music from the University of Houston and a Masters of Music Composition from Ohio State University. His twenty-year career is highlighted by performances, presentations and installations at international venues including Trinity University in San Antonio, TX; Dallas Museum of Art, TX; Mexic-Arte, Austin, TX; El Museo del Barrio, New York, NY; and the Festival Internacional de Cultura in Vera Cruz, Mexico.” Along with the work of George and Alex, there will also be new art by members of The Black Light Contingent, so make sure to come out as it promises to be a visualy stunning night! Join us on Halloween for a night of art, music and social revelry. Come dressed up or as you are and don’t forget the event is free. You are welcome to bring your own (fill in the blank). Starts at 8:30 PM until late.

Lawyers. Accountants. Computer programmers. That’s what our parents encouraged us to become when we grew up. But Mom and Dad were wrong. The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind. The era of “left brain” dominance, and the Information Age that it engendered, are giving way to a new world in which “right brain” qualities-inventiveness, empathy, meaning-predominate. That’s the argument at the center of this provocative and original book, which uses the two sides of our brains as a metaphor for understanding the contours of our times.
In this insightful and entertaining book, which has been translated into 20 languages, Daniel H. Pink offers a fresh look at what it takes to excel. A Whole New Mind reveals the six essential aptitudes on which professional success and personal fulfillment now depend, and includes a series of hands-on exercises culled from experts around the world to help readers sharpen the necessary abilities. This book will change not only how we see the world but how we experience it as well.
