The Hospitalito Inaugural Art Show Tomorrow!

Beach Virgin

Please drop by to see the Inaugural Show for the Hospitalito, just a short distance south of the San Juan Cosala plaza. The show, curated by Isidro Xilonsonchitl, will feature the work of 15 local artists.

Since the San Juan Bautista Festival will be going on, the street that leads to it is blocked off by rides and booths, so it might be best to park on the Carretera just before or after the traffic lights and walk the one block down to the show, or to approach the area from the lake side instead of the streets immediately around the plaza. The show will run for two weeks, the duration of the festival, but the Inauguration will be June 16 at 5 o’clock. In addition to the show, there will be the usual food, rides and plenty of booths to tempt your pocketbook!!!

Above and below are a few of the 26 wall pieces I’ll have in the show, as well as a few of the beach creches.They are all assemblages made from material picked up on beach walks during the time I’ve spent on various Mexican beaches.

No Longer in the Present, for dVerse Poets, June 14, 2023

No Longer in the Present

In chairs around the tables of our favorite cafe,
our attention to each other has come to be passé
We are not present here and now. We’re all in other places
as we stare at  our tiny screens, caught up in far off faces.

For dVerse Poets Quadrille Challenge, the prompt was  “present.” HERE is Lillian’s challenge.
