Centro Cultural Aztlan is pleased to present the 15th annual Las Mujeres de Aztlan: Persistent and Resilient. Join us at the opening reception on Friday March 8, 2024 from 6-9pm for light refreshments and live music by local singer songwriter Ariel Corinne. Through this annual exhibition, Centro Cultural Aztlan aims to raise the visibility of women artists working to develop their careers and expand their artistic expressions. This year’s exhibition focuses on the resilience and persistence of women. These qualities, which seem to be innate to women, are used by women across the globe to address and change the range of gender specific obstacles we face. Resilience makes us stronger as life changes. We develop discernment through experience, mistakes, and hard knocks. We become fearless and adapt to continual change. Women have the persistence to make societal changes such as gaining the right to vote, gaining recognition of female artists, and equal pay for some female athletes. In this exhibit, artists express their unique perspective on these qualities of women.

The lead artist for this exhibition is Kathleen Baker Pittman. Featured artists include: Santa Barraza, Kim Bishop, Maria J. Brown, Magdalena Chellet, Lynn Maverick Denzer, Maureen Doebbler, Sara Drescher, Petra Del Sol Eubanks, Barbara Felix, Robin Gara, Laurel Gibson, Crystal Green, Rose Harms, Angelica Mayorga, Marcy McChesney, Adriana Netro, Denise Pérez, Lenise Pérez-Miller, Kathleen Baker Pittman, Manola Ramirez, Maria Ramirez, Regina Y. Sanders, Le Green Schubert, Sarah Shore, Monica Walker, Angela Weddle, and Terry Ybañez.
