If we lose sight of what happened with the Chicano Movement, we will repeat mistakes and we see that going on to this day.  — Sergio Hernandez

Maestros y Mas [English translation: Masters & More] essentially keeps the Chicano Movement alive through art and culture in remembrance of initial Mexican American struggles.  Each year (for the past approximate decade) an exhibition is organized with the heart and feeling of Chicanismo.

Maestros y Mas is an exhibit that will feature works by the Chicano/a arts movement vanguard, the Maestros (Masters) from the 1960s through 1970s.  The exhibition will be saluting the pat accomplishmnets of these veteran artists chronicling “where We Began” as well as welcoming the next generation of emerging artists.  Aztlan, will continue to advance as a cross-cultural, multi-media show that is exploring the palce that is Aztlan, “the promised land” described in Aztec mythology, that today encompasses Northern Mexico and the entire Southwest quarter of the United States.
