Cervantino 2014 Graffitti anyone? Guanajuato's Newest, Largest

You'll find the Plaza de Toros near the State Auditorium
Guanajuato's white elephant, the Plaza de Toros, now catches the eye with bursts of color. The project took two months of planning and six days more for Guanajuato artists to fill their 50x30 meter space with a new Quixote. Nuevo Leon artists created the two other panels portraying the spirit of migration..The Cervantino and the city ofo Guanajuato were among a half dozen organizations underwriting the giant graffitti expected to be on view for many years.

Sherrie Posternak's Day of the Dead exhibit at the Dieguino



PhotoSherrie's exhibit opened at the Museo  Dieguino (between the Teatro Juarez and the Hotel San Diego) Friday night, her third exhibit in Guanajuato this year. Creating in many forms, this versatile artist offered her viewers many ways of seeing the interplay between life and death.  What could have been a better setting than the subterranean museum? The artist, who dressed as a calaca that would have done Posada proud, explained that her  family recollections and  her own sense of Mexican culture mix in this varied exhibit made from the intertwined threads of life and death.
