Artwork by four artists from El Paso: Elena Octuna Batista, Lorene Glenn Rogers, Leonardo Ceniceros, and Elisha Rachelle
El Paso is the only Texas city that is not part of the Central Time Zone. It is on Mountain Time. El Paso is a border town eight hours from Austin, one hour behind the rest of the state, and more in time with it's neighbors of Arizona and Mexico. This exhibition features the artwork of four artists whose work is highly influenced by their place in El Paso and their sense of place as artists with disabilities living on the border.

In the Studio Gallery we are featuring the final projects for the 2010 WAL (We Are Learning) Micro-Enterprise in the Arts Class. On view will be a line of original hand made blank greeting cards, mid-size mono-prints, and wall hangings. The artwork displayed emanates from our last curriculum unit on print making and includes rubbings, stamping, and mono-printing.

Here is a wonderful opportunity to share your talents and enjoy the talents of others. We will start with audience warm up theater games and move into short performances. Performers (that’s YOU!) may offer many different things: Poem, song, skit, magic, puppetry, juggling, comedy, storytelling, and comedy. Anything is possible! Well, not exactly, no skateboarding or anything too wildly physical because we have to be safe/sane in the gallery space... Special guests and stars from our classes will also grace our stage... This is a family friendly setting catering to young adults and adults, persons with and without disabilities.
