Art Fiesta 2013! It’s close!

Matador Motel

Matador Motel

Get ready for a great big lot of fun at the 3rd annual Matador Art Fiesta.  This is a time and place where you can satisfy all your appetite for beauty, for music, for art, for food — you can even do a little dancing!  There’s a cantina and a taco truck to make sure you are well nourished and hydrated, there’s a photo opportunity for Mother’s Day, kids’ activities, lots of beautiful art to look at both inside the rooms (mini galleries) and the booths.  You can stroll, look, absorb the beauty and enjoy against a backdrop of mission-style architecture with a variety of musical entertainments.  There’ll also be scheduled artist demos and probably a whole lot of unscheduled happenings that will make this an unforgettable event.

Art Fiesta Penny Drawing

This year, we’re bustin’ out our trusty penny press and for a mere trifle, you can press your own commemorative Matador coin.  Not only that, but this year, we also have T-shirts for sale and they are splendid.   So many souvenirs — another memory in the making!

Our models are board members Carob, Darah, Cynthia
