Chulita Vinyl Club is an all-girl all-vinyl club for self-identifying women of color, which launched in 2014, with the context of providing a space for empowerment and togetherness. ALL visitors are welcome to stop by, bring their own vinyl and watch, listen and dance to the sets of the CVC crew.
To kick off the evening at 6 pm, Chulita Vinyl Club will host a Bring Your Own Vinyl (BYOV) set and visitors are encouraged to bring a record from their collection to be spun in-house while they enjoy the exhibitions on view.
Beginning at 7 pm, participants from a workshop held earlier in the day will return for their final performance to showcase their learning, with CVC jumping on the 1s and 2s at 9 pm to finish up the night with a set of their own.
Bilingual (Spanish and English) guided meditation on the plaza, led by Noemi Nunez will be a unique experience at the rocking musical cadence of the interactive installation of La Musidora, located outdoors on Martin Plaza. Enjoy the melange of art and wellness with an implied invitation dialogue of cultural relevancy. No previous yoga or mediation experience needed, neither is it necessary to master Spanish, or to bring a mat. Let's raise Denver's vibration together by uniting breath and intention in community.
Craftsman & Apprentice will be leading Latin American-inspired embroidery adult crafting workshops. Learn techniques and create take-home projects.
The Narrators will be here performing a series of animal-inspired stories to kick off the new exhibition Stampede: Animals in Art, joined by musical performances by The Playground Ensemble. Exhibition-inspired storytelling also will be led by Stories on Stage.

MOTUS theater will be performing a number of monologues focused on issues surrounding immigrant rights and Latino cultural identity. Including monologues from actresses Ana Casas, discussing her brother’s deportation, and Teresita Lozano, leading a singing tour of Mi Tierra, focuses primarily on the Castas paintings and reflections on her Mexican identity, as a light-skined woman of color.
Warm Cookies of the Revolution and special guest Jason Heller (@jason_m_heller), writer and Hugo Award-winning editor, will be pushing us to exercise our civic engagement.

The Sage, a student literary and art magazine of Sul Ross University, the Bryan Wildenthal Memorial Library, and the Department of Languages and Literature are hosting Ms. Cortez at the Wildenthal Library on the Sul Ross campus at 2 pm on Tuesday, October 10th, 2017. Ms. Cortez will read from her new book, Vanishing Points: Poems and Photographs of Texas Roadside Memorials (Texas Review Press, 2016).
Dr. Laura Payne, Chair of the Department of Language and Literature at Sul Ross University said, “Sarah’s poetry and her current edited collection both beautifully resonate with the cross-sections of landscape and the human spirit, touching on Texan lives and shared experiences when we take the moment to stop, rest, and enjoy.”
Ms. Cortez has invited Mr. Jacob Gernentz, the Rodeo Coach at Sul Ross University, as her special guest. He assisted Ms. Cortez with the authenticity of her poems in Vanishing Points, which reference the rodeo.
Alyson Ward, in the Sunday, March 26, 2017 Houston Chronicle, described Vanishing Points as "a sobering, gorgeous collection." Selected as one of 2016 Southwest Books of the Year, it features the poignant drama of Texas’s lonesome highways and bustling intersections illustrated by the stunning photography of Dan Streck. Four poets respond to the visual summons of roadside memorials with lyric intensity: Jack B. Bedell, Sarah Cortez, Loueva Smith, and Larry D. Thomas. Graphic designer Nancy J. Parsons brings her award-winning skills to perfectly meld photography with poetry in this gorgeous volume.
Ms. Cortez won the 2016 Award for Editing from the Press Women of Texas and the 2016 National Award for Editing from the National Federation of Press Women.
