Zona Rosa Caffe - Art

Art

Zona Rosa Caffe has hosted many local artists over the years. Some notable exhibitors include: R. Kenton Nelson, Jose Ramirez, Vibiana Aparicio-Chamberlain, Sandra Romero, Rich Raya, Erik Petri, Alexander Suriano, Maria Luisa Isenberg, and Karen Walker-Chamberlin, among others.

One notable exhibition takes place on and around the Mexican tradition of Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, in late October, early November. This tradition has an emphasis on celebrating and honoring the lives of the deceased, and celebrating the continuation of life; the belief is not that death is the end, but rather the beginning of a new stage in life. Many paintings, sculptures, alters and interactive displays are exhibited with this theme in mind.

Famous quotes containing the word art:

    To the man who loves art for its own sake,... it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    Blow, blow, thou winter wind!
    Thou art not so unkind
    As man’s ingratitude;
    Thy tooth is not so keen
    Because thou art not seen,
    Although thy breath be rude.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Only in men’s imagination does every truth find an effective and undeniable existence. Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art as of life.
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
