CON SAFOS
(WITH RESPECT)

Contemporary Chicano Art
From the Joe A. Diaz Collection

Now Through June 15th, 2008

The paintings, installations, sculptures, and photographs
selected for this exhibition were created over the last
four decades in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and
Calfornia. The participating artists represent the scope
of Mexican-American art from the Chicano movement
of the late 60s, through the present. Their gripping and
hearfelt images of life in the U.S. unveil a culture that
has been a part of America for over 400 years.

issue of habitat loss.

CHUPACABRAS!
Now Through July 20, 2008

In this exhibition, Chicago artists re-explore the lasting
impact that Chupacabras sightings have had on the
Latin American and North American psyche.
