CSF/UCP and Azteca de Greater Kansas City are pleased to partner to present the second annual Comunidad/Community art exhibition at UCP’s la Esquina. This large group show, featuring works by a diverse array of approximately 40 Kansas City area artists, is curated by Jenny Mendez, Chairperson of Azteca’s Guild of Latino Fine Arts and Director of Mattie Rhodes Art Center.

The exhibition opens on June 5, 6-10pm, in conjunction with the third annual Westside Block Party, co-sponsored by Azteca, CSF/UCP, and C&G Construction. The event, which drew a diverse cross-section of more than one thousand visitors last year, will  feature live outdoor music and dance performances, low rider cars, authentic Mexican cuisine, Boulevard beer, and other surprises. This free, family friendly event takes place on the block of West 25th Street just north of Southwest Boulevard, and in the parking lot in front of la Esquina at 1000 West 25th Street. Visits are encouraged to bring folding chairs! Read full press release. We are currently seeking SPONSORS for this event. Click here for sponsorship information.

A Comunidad/Community gallery talk with artists and curator Jenny Mendez is set for Wednesday, June 10, 6:30pm at la Esquina.
