Exhibition Opening: Past, Present, Paint!

Led by local Chicana and Indigenous artists, Jazzelle Bustos, Katrina Urenda, and Celesté Velasquez, the Past, Present, Paint! visual storytelling workshops offered a lesson in how contemporary artists participate in the tradition of visual storytelling. Those who gathered learned about the heritage behind some of Pueblo’s public murals, had a brief art lesson, and personalized canvas tiles that have been added to the Past, Present, Paint! mini-mural exhibition. Bringing memories, creativity, and love for the community to life, participants made their mark on the library’s legacy. Come share in the story and see the Pueblo Proud narrative come to life in this community-created art exhibition featuring seven artist murals and 136 community tiles!
