Here is a blog entry about the tio I wish I never had. He drives us nuts, quick don't let him see. Pure Mexico City fun. Lot's of laughs. In all seriousness, Arturo and his wife are an incredibly generous couple that have helped DLT & I when no one would open so much as a crack in the window. Well I've been resting for a little bit. Time to get into full blown RECEPTION MODE. Check out the exhibit!!

The theme of this group exhibition is open to each artist’s interpretation of their own backgrounds, roots and culture.  The show includes artists who have presented their work throughout the world, as well as a large number of professors from the well-known art school “Esmeralda” in Mexico City.  The interest is in finding a connection between the artist and his or her own race.  By means of the plastic arts, they show us where they live, what their philosophies and political views are, and their impressions of the cultures that surround them.
