Armchair ArtWalk Tour/ZOOM
August 26, 2021 @ 5:30 pm
Hispanic Heritage Month
The San Pedro Waterfront Arts District, in collaboration with the artists who have performed or exhibited their arts in San Pedro, is moving to Last Thursdays. We are accommodating the return of the in-person First Thursday ArtWalk on September 2nd, 2021.
The next Armchair ArtWalk Tour will be held on Zoom at 5:30pm on Last Thursday, August 26th, 2021, and hosted by Gallery Azul owners, Cora Ramirez-Vasquez, and Ray Vasquez.
Gallery Azul opened its doors on November 2nd, 2006, with a group show in honor of the 3,000-year-old Mexican celebration of life “Día de Los Muertos” (Day of the Dead). The gallery continued this tradition with themed shows for Women’s History, Teacher Appreciation, and Black Heritage months. Gallery Azul is committed to finding high quality, collectible, cultural, and conceptual art to enhance the San Pedro Arts scene.
For the month of September of 2021, Gallery Azul will be celebrating Hispanic heritage by re-envisioning La Loteria cards portraying Mexicanos in various underrepresented professions. This is meant to inspire not only the Mexican community, but all Hispanic, Latinx, Chicano/a, and Afro LatinX in professions lacking diversity. We believe in supporting each other in the arts and by seeing what we can achieve, we can be inspired for the future.
La Lotería is the “Mexican bingo”, instead of calling out letters and numbers, the announcer calls out the image of the card that is chosen. Game boards are marked with beans or pennies. Once a player’s game board is filled, they shout, “Lotería!”
