Project Overview

Each month, meet and learn from a local artist. Featured artists (visual and performance) will share about their art, discuss creativity, and respond to questions in an informal setting. In August, join us as we learn about artist Kalpulli Tlaloctechutli. Kalpulli Tlaloctechutli is a Roseville-based dance group made up of families that are dedicated to lifelong learning of the Mexican (Aztec) ancestral teachings. The group is committed to creating a safe and welcoming space for all. Tlaloctechutli means the great lord of the rain and thunder (storms).
