Patricia Correia Gallery
Bergamot Station
Santa Monica, CA
June 28—September 6, 2008
These two exhibitions are a culmination of a five-year project were Patricia Correia Gallery focused on working exclusively with Chicano & Chicana artists. Many of the artists represented by the gallery during this project participated in the founding of the Chicano Art Movement which has been evolving over the last 40 years. These visual artists have participated in public artworks, grants, art biennials, gallery and museum exhibitions, and are part of museum collections, both nationally and internationally.
Pintores de Aztlan

La Casa Encendida, along with Patricia Correia Gallery, worked on the project for over two years, with the goal of introducing the Chicano Art Movement to Europe.
