The Museum of Texas Tech University is pleased to announce a weekend of events celebrating its current exhibition Santa Barraza. Influences on and Development of Her Works of Art. A reception and tour of the exhibition, led by the artist, will follow the Sunday lecture.
All events are free of charge and open to the public.
The Museum is located at 4th Street and Indiana Avenue. Saturday's Retablo workshop is for students in grades 4-7, and will be held in the Kline Room of the Museum. Participants need to bring a drawing of a miracle or spiritual event they have experienced, from which they can create an acrylic painting. The painting will then be mounted in a metal-foil framed retablo , which the student will emboss. Retablos are traditional oil paintings on tin or wood made for public and private spiritual devotions, originating in early 19th century Mexico.
