Dr. Carmela G. Lacayo, president and founder of El Pueblo Community Development Corporation, is pleased to announce the first in a series of art and cultural events hosted at our non-profit gift store. These events are a result of El Pueblo’s dedication to the promotion of Hispanic arts and culture.

On June 15 & 16, 2007, El Pueblo Folk Art & Specialty Gifts invite you to a special showing of artwork of the Huichol Indians. Harry March of Sailing Traders will share the rich culture and religious background of the Huichol Indians and explain the intricacies of their artwork. During this special two day event, you will learn about the Huichol Indians, see their artwork and even have the opportunity to experience the skill needed to produce such fine pieces of folk art.

El Pueblo is located at 50 North Raymond Avenue (at the corner of Union) in Old Town Pasadena. “El Pueblo” is a non-profit gift store owned by El Pueblo Community Development Corporation. El Pueblo CDC, founded in 1985, provides low-income housing and economic development projects for low-income families and senior citizens.
