The 20th De Colores Art Show will open Sunday, October 27 with a reception from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. The purpose of the long-running annual group show is to recognize the contributions of Latino culture and traditions to the art of the Santa Clara Valley. Every year the message of the show manifests itself vividly through portraiture, still-life, landscape, abstraction, sculpture, photography and more.

"This year, the De Colores exhibit meets viewers with art that resurrects the depth of life, change, and the shift of human consciousness," says award-winning artist and De Colores guest curator Andrea Vargas-Mendoza. Twenty artists were selected for the 20th show which includes works by muralist Uriel Leon, couture by multimedia artist Marissa Magdalena, and spiritually evocative work by Veronica Valadez.

The current grouping continues the legacy of the De Colores Art Show as a meaningful and vibrant narrative full of character, passion and color.
