About Me:
THE SAN ANTONIO CREATIVE COLLABORATIVE FOR DIVERSITY IN THE ARTS – a collaborative comprised of Anchor Partners, Community Partners, Artists, Performers, Sponsors, Volunteers, and the City of San Antonio, announce a very special event: “Una Noche de La Gloria – Contemporary Art in the Cultural Zone”. La Gloria happen this fall, October 10, 2009, from 6:00PM to Midnight in San Antonio’s historic Avenida Guadalupe Westside Arts District. “La Gloria” is an ambitious project which encourages the “collecting” of locally produced fine art via an exhibition environment and the discovery of contemporary performance artists via music, film, and literature.

Created and organized by the Contemporary Art and Literature Organization (CALO) and sponsored by District 5 Councilwoman Lourdes Galvan, “Una Noche de La Gloria” is an arts exposition and community building activity. La Gloria was created to advance cultural adjustment and growth and promote the undercurrent markets of the arts and culture in San Antonio’s Xicano and Latino communities. While the main focus of CALO is to promote creative individuals, La Gloria will showcase “senior citizen” master artists and give aspiring artists a chance to participate amongst their peers, thereby bridging the generation gap and pro-actively passing down values that have sustained local artist for generations.

We believe the best way to support creative individuals is to build bridges between our City’s artists, its citizens and visitors enabling commerce through the arts while fostering a healthy and prosperous creative economy that strengthens an authentic San Antonio artistic and cultural community.

Join us this fall for the unforgettable “Una Noche de La Gloria – Contemporary Art in the Cultural Zone” in “el mero gueso” – the Westside of San Antonio.
