Seminar speeches given by Gustavo Arellano:
THE LATINIZATION OF ART & CULTURE IN AMERICA
Understanding Its Impact and Why it Matters

October 22, 2005
In Pursuit of A Story

Senior fellows Gurza and Arellano lead the Fellows to Santa Ana to meet Sali Heráldez of SolArt Gallery & Café and Carolina Sarmiento of the Centro Cultural de México. Both are young Santa Ana natives who have battled mightily against the city in their efforts to bring art and culture into the town—Sarmiento as head of a non-profit that runs free music and arts programs, Heráldez as someone who can’t get a business license because the city says her space has too few parking spaces. Also pay a visit to Librería Martínez to meet the owner, MacArthur awardee Rueben Martinez.

What fellows have to say about past seminars:

I've got story ideas, great reference materials (my editor will consider what I'll tell him about the USGS presentation alone worth the price of admission) and excellent contacts. I couldn't have asked for a better program."
