Asociación de Artes del Mar Cortez A.C.
Season 2021 - 22 is coming up fast and Asociacion de Artes hopes we will have a 'normal' season... but it all depends on what is happening with COVID!
It has been a long 1 1/2+ years since we all felt the effects of Covid 19 in our lives. We learned lots of medical terms, learned about vaccines, shared loss and tragedy with our neighbors, family and friends and most of all learned how to adjust and make it work!
Asociacion de Artes has been effected like many businesses and other non-profit organizations. We had to mostly shut down our activities. Last season we were lucky to have one our our three events - our Artist Studio Tour. But, we have high hopes we will be able to have all three events this season:
Holiday Art Show in Los Barriles - December 5th (always the first Sunday in December)
Artist Studio Tour - February 9, 2022 (always the Wednesday before Valentines Day)
Festival de Artes - March 21, 2022 (always the 3rd Sunday of March)
Make sure you save the date for Festival de Artes because we are making it a huge party to make up for the our lost Covid year!! We have to put the fun, shopping and entertainment for two years packed into one great day!!
We are still collecting SPANISH LANGUAGE books for the libraries of the East Cape area schools. Reading levels from kindergarten to high school. Books of all subjects - classic and modern. The kindergarten has specifically asked for picture books and English words are fine as the little ones mainly look at the pictures! If everyone brings down one or two books, we should be able to replace all the overly loved books in the libraries!
School Supplies and Assistance- We will still continue our printing home work if it is needed - which we hope the students can get back to the classrooms! To print the school work we had a printer at a central location and they print up the home work that is needed and the students woiuld pick it up at the local DIF office. Last year we supported three districts. Then when schools open up, it will be that time of the year that we go out shopping and deliver school supplies to the 19 area schools we support. Come and join us for the deliveries and see what the Mexican schools look like.
We will continue to keep you informed with the East Capers Magazine published Bi-monthly October thru April. Look for our activities on this website, the East Capers or announcements on BPE. For information on any of the things we do, contact us at eastcapearts@gmail.com
