Spanish Art Market brings nationally-known artists
A Bulto of San Francisco by participating artist Leonardo Salazar.
Pikes Peak Community College will host the first annual Spanish Art Market at
The Downtown Studio Campus, 100 West Pikes Peak, on Friday, October 13, from 4
to 8 p.m., and on Saturday, October 14, from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. More than 30
world-class Colorado and New Mexico artists will display and sell their original
traditional and contemporary artwork, including weaving, jewelry, colcha
embroidery, furniture, straw appliqué, Retablo paintings and Bulto carvings
(sacred images), tinwork, metalwork, and sculpture.
The festival will include traditional music, dance and food. Steve Mullins will
entertain with guitar music during the opening reception on Friday evening. The
dance troupe, Ballet Folklorico de la Raza, and the band, Mistura Bela, will
both perform on Saturday.
The concept of a Spanish Art Market originated in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Several
cities, including Colorado Springs, have created their own markets modeled after
the Santa Fe Market. Originally held at the Fine Arts Center in Colorado, the
Spanish and Indian Market was discontinued a couple of years ago. PPCC hopes to
revive this tradition and will inaugurate its own Spanish Art Market for
Hispanic artists who live in Colorado and New Mexico.
