An Evening with Artists: Belinda Garcia and Rita Moreno Prince

Join us for a reading, Q&A, and signing with two fantastic artists, Belinda Garcia and Rita Moreno Prince. They will be joined by Oneyda Maestas, a cultural center event director, to introduce our artists in Spanish, and by Dr. Meliza Ramírez, Assistant Professor of Spanish at Adams State University, providing a reading in Spanish.​ Artist, author, and activist living in the San Luis Valley, Belinda is a Xicana/ Indigenous human being. Her art, which exists in many mediums, reflects lived cultures and is a manifestation of healing. Her silk mural project, Somos Agua, is the basis for her book: an educational and interactive book designed for children and classrooms. Dancer, author, and activist, Rita grew up in west Denver. She is an Aztec dancer and business owner, selling handcrafted beaded jewelry. She is one of the founders of the youth drum and dance group, Medicine Warriors. Her children’s book, The Chattering Calavera, was written to process grief after the loss of her son.
