MEXICO 2010
Join the Boston Printmakers for a Forum on Creativity in Guanajuato, Mexico with artists Carol Summers and Karen Kunc August 7-14, 2010 The Boston Printmakers will host an educational tour and studio workshop exploring the passion and creativity that has grown from this celebrated region of central Mexico. Emeritus member of the Boston Printmakers and resident of Guanajuato, Carol Summers will be our host. As a world traveler and avid collector of regional Mexican Folk Art, Carol will provide his personal insight on Guanajuato and demonstrate his unique method of printing colorful woodcuts. His award-winning bed-and-breakfast inn, La Casa de Espiritus Alegres, houses a vast collection of folk art from every state in Mexico. It’s a museum to regional art! At the nearby Piramidal Grafica print studio, Boston Printmaker member Karen Kunc will provide an intensive, exciting mentored workshop inducing a response to the culture and beauty of Mexican Folk Art and to our surroundings. Her 3-day, self-directed concentration on printmaking will awaken the possibilities of the woodcut with contemporary, creative methods that can be spontaneous, simple and direct, leading to editionable and monoprint approaches. Mexican Printmaker Hugo Anaya, manager of La Casa de Espiritus Alegres and co-owner the Piramidal Grafica studio has planned a full itinerary of visits to local arts neighborhoods, meals, studio time, and a gala reception for the final evening. Highlights include: el Centro Guanajuato, an excursion through the Pottery Trail to San Miguel de Allende, and a visit to the print studio in Salamanca. Forum on Creativity: Guanajuato allows for conversation, personal growth, sharing of ideas and friendships, amid the good food, moderate mountain climate, and wonders of Mexican culture and life. Registration opens March 5 for members and March 30 for non-members. $1350 per person, double occupancy (does not include international airfare) LINKS: Contact:
