Saludos mi gente,

Membership:
Please welcome new members Celia Cruzado and Elsie Deliz-Fonseca.

PRIDA members exhibition:
I want to thank all of the artists that are participating in the Aqui esta El Barrio Part I – Three-dimensional Work…we had a great opening yesterday. If you missed it you can still bring your friends and family to see what we are creating (the Stickball Gallery is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm). The exhibition is on until August 14. It just proves that Puerto Rican talent is exceptional in all disciplines! Thank you to co-curator Ricardo Muñiz for his incredible contribution to making this show a success. Thank you most of all the artists participating:
Olga Ayala
Barbara Diaz
Elsie Deliz-Fonseca
Jesus Mangual Cruz
Cinderella “La Bohemia” Marin
Esperanza Martell
Hector Melendez
Jorge Mendosimo
Felipe Rangel
Astramaria Rodriguez
Marta Iris Rodriguez Olmeda
We are now looking to the second part of Aqui esta El Barrio and we need volunteers to make this happen. Please send me a message. Once the call is sent out, art is submitted and artists participation is accepted we need help with:
• Scheduling the artists to bring their artwork and making sure someone is at the gallery to accept it
• Promotion
• The reception
• Hanging the show, producing labels and making sure the gallery is open to the public on the hours that its supposed to be
• A person to manage the PRIDA information table at the reception to provide membership applications, brochures, buttons, etc.

PRIDA Fundraising Dance:
We have secured the Julia de Burgos Latino Cultural Center for our fundraising dance on Friday, September 25, 2015 from 6:00pm to 11:00pm. Of course every member (free, supporting and individual) is expected to buy and sell tickets so we can raise funds for our organization. We want to sell out the place and it holds 175 people. Details and tickets will be mailed out soon.

This is the kind of stuff that keeps me going.

Atentamente…
Luis
