Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
From images of Mayan goddesses and Mexican madonnas to hand-wrought works of fiber and clay, Primavera: A Spring Celebration of the Divine Feminine — an all-woman show opening today at the Chicano Humanities and Arts Council — delivers its theme on a veritable Botticellian half-shell. “A lot of us do women…that’s what we paint,” says organizer and participant Arlette Lucero. Featuring works in a variety of mediums, including painting, furniture, textiles, pottery and poetry vignettes, the exhibit also packs a powerful and spiritual message about what it means to be a woman.
On March 9, CHAC will host a free vernal equinox celebration — with Aztec dancers and live Latin jazz by Tonali — to complement the spring-forward show. CHAC is at 772 Santa Fe Drive; call 303-571-0440 or visit www.chacweb.org.
March 2-31
