In recognition of the resilience of the Latinx community to re-emerge stronger after the pandemic like a phoenix, Paseo Artístico is reigniting the Calle 24 Latino Cultural District with an in-person gallery artwalk at six participating art galleries and cultural venues and a Live Online Art Auction to raise funds for Paseo Artístico to continue offering free community art programs.
The Mission District’s FREE bimonthly community art stroll returns live in-person June 4-18, 2021 with “El Fénix de La Misión” (The Phoenix of La Mission) Gallery Show and Art Auction Fundraiser to support the beloved community art series celebrating Latinx Culture on 24th Street and help it continue after the pandemic. The exhibit will be available for in person viewing at local galleries and the Live Online Art Auction on the June 12 Facebook Livestream.
This June 4, Paseo Artístico returns to live art activities again after 15 months of online only programs due to the COVID 19 shelter in place order. After the devastating pandemic wreaked havoc on Latinos in the Mission District who suffered disproportionately, Paseo Artístico brings hope back with art that feeds our soul. “El Fénix de la Misión” Art Auction and Fundraiser will be an in person gallery show, live online art auction and performance fundraiser featuring 50 local artists who have previously presented at Paseo Artistico including Juana Alicia, Michael Román, Juan Fuentes, Favianna Rodriguez, Calixto Robles, AGANA, Susan Cervantes, Josue Rojas, Rio Yañez, Kate Razo, Azteca Negra, and many more.
