Mattie Rhodes Center is celebrating the 200th anniversary of Mexican Independence and the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution with the exhibit ˇVIVA! Throughout history, times of upheaval, turmoil and separation have inspired creative resistance and Mexican history is no exception. This exbihit explores the artist's personal interpretation of independence, revolution and the historical events from which they come.
The Guild of Latino Fine Arts (Azteca de Greater Kansas City) and Mattie Rhodes Art Gallery are coming together to celebrate life and community through art. In collaboration with our ˇVIVA! exhibit, we take on the "VIVA" and make it "VIVA LA VIDA" (Long Live Life). So even though the two shows are celebrating two different things, they are still connected through people, art and community. "Viva la Vida: A Celebration of Life and Community" will run June 4 - July 10, 2010 at La Esquina, 1000 W. 25th Street, KCMO 64108.

Gallery Workshop: Images of Independence
The year 2010 marks the 200th anniversary of the Mexican fight for independence and also the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution. The revolution gave birth to great artwork that spoke to the need for social change. The great murals of the day are well known, but there were also great printmakers such as Jose Guadalupe Posada whose imagery spoke of social justice, folk life and history. In this class we will learn basic printmaking techniques and create prints inspired by imagery of these historical events.
