Acompáñenos este viernes 27 de febrero (5–7 PM) a la inauguración de Cayetano Barceló: Una Retrospectiva — 50 Años Pintando en la Frontera en la Galería del Grand Theatre en Douglas.

Nacido en Agua Prieta en 1949 y casi completamente autodidacta, la obra de Cayetano abarca cinco décadas — desde sus dibujos en el pizarrón en la escuela hasta composiciones abstractas llenas de profundidad y fuerza, marcadas por la vida en la frontera.

Más de 40 pinturas estarán en exhibición hasta el 22 de marzo.
Nos encantará celebrar este legado con ustedes.

On May 22, 2023, the First Presbyterian Church in Douglas, Arizona, suffered severe damage from a fire, leaving the building unusable.

Through a collaboration between the Church and Border Arts Corridor, artist Yadira Camacho created a mural to show the church’s rebirth from the ashes, representing faith, unity, love, resilience, peace, and community work.

On December 6, we witnessed the unveiling of the mural, as well as the opening of part of the church!

Thank you to everyone involved in this collaboration, go check it out !

El 22 de Mayo del 2023, la Primera Iglesia Presbiteriana de Douglas, AZ fue fuertemente dañada por un incendio, dejando el edificio sin poder usarse.
A través de una colaboración entre la Iglesia y Border Arts Corridor, la artista Yadira Camacho creó un mural para mostrar el resurgimiento de la iglesia a partir de las cenizas, mostrando así la fe, unidad, amor, resilience, paz y trabajo comunitario.

El 6 de Diciembre, pudimos ser testigos de la presentación del mural, así como la apertura de una parte del templo.

Gracias a todos por la colaboracion!
