Today I attended the first annual Latino Arts Festival in the Bishop Arts District in Oak Cliff. It was a juried art exhibit and also a competition. The jurors included; Benito Huerta – Director of the Gallery at UTA as well as an artist and curator, Celia Munoz – a conceptual multi-media artist and Charles D. Mitchell – a freelance writer based in Dallas who has contributed to the Dallas Observer and the Dallas Morning News.
The show incuded fine arts as well as arts and crafts. There were hispanic musicians of all genres and spoken word performances by poets either from Oak Cliff or with ties to the area. No announcement yet on who the winners were.
