Boom Oaxaca: Conversaciones de Campo a Campo<br />
Boom Oaxaca: Conversaciones de Campo a Campo is an original exhibition from Arte Américas in Fresno, California. This<br />
exhibition is made possible by a grant from The McClatchy Fresno Arts Endowment of The James B. McClatchy Foundation.<br />
Grounded in the unique cultures of both<br />
California and Oaxaca, Mexico, the<br />
work in Boom Oaxcaca promotes selfrepresentation,<br />
addressing important<br />
and timely themes of indigenous and<br />
food sovereignity. Organized by<br />
Fresno’s Arte Américas, the exhibition<br />
spotlights newly commissioned works<br />
by internationally recognized artists<br />
Tlacolulokos (Oaxacan-based) and<br />
Narsiso Martinez (Oaxacan-born, based<br />
in Long Beach) and developed through<br />
community interviews in California’s<br />
Central Valley.<br />

The Great Glass Pumpkin Patch<br />
Saturday, September 30<br />
& Sunday, October 1<br />
Who doesn’t love a pumpkin patch?<br />
Especially one made of thousands of handcrafted<br />
glass pumpkins!<br />
For more than 27 years, the Bay Area Glass<br />
Institute and the Palo Alto Art Center have<br />
sponsored California’s largest Great Glass<br />
Pumpkin Patch on the grounds of the Art<br />
Center, drawing thousands of visitors from<br />
around the country every year. More than 25<br />
artists take months to hand-blow and handcraft<br />
the more than 10,000 beautiful glass<br />
pumpkins, which range from teeny-tiny to<br />
gargantuan. The pumpkins come in all colors<br />
and various shapes. A percentage of the sales<br />
will benefit BAGI and the Palo Alto Art Center<br />
Foundation.
