Join artist Justin Favela, his family, and the Ulrich crew at a free, all-ages celebration! Inspired by family gatherings from his youth, Justin Favela brings this tradition to life in a joyful community event from 3-5:30 p.m., this Saturday, November 15 at the Museum.
Sample traditional Mexican food by Las Delicias. Create a flower crown and mini piñatas. Enjoy a performance by Raíces De Mi Tierra Ballet Folklorico. Play games and dance to music with DJ Ash Aranda. Students from Wichita East will be offering aguas frescas and accepting donations. We'll break a series of piñatas during the party!
This is a great opportunity to experience 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘎𝘰: 𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯 𝘍𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘢'𝘴 𝘊𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘉𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘙𝘦-𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨, an installation composed of more than one hundred piñatas, each representing an exhibition from Favela's career. Surrounding them are vibrant dreamscape murals that visualize the artist's hopes, future, and internal landscapes. The exhibition will be on view in the Beren Gallery during this exciting family event.
In a gesture of collaboration and regional connection, Favela hired piñata artisans from cities along the route between Las Vegas and Wichita, including local artists. Piñatas from that exhibition will be for sale at this event with proceeds going toward student scholarships.
There is no charge for this event, and everyone is welcome.
