Hi Pearmama -
I'm writing from The Folk Tree in Pasadena - we're getting ready for our Day of the Dead exhibit. I'm interested in your oil pastel "sugar skulls". Please give me a call - 626/793-4828,

Gail,
In March 2010, there will be a series of events in Mexico City, Mexico, Los Angeles, California, and other cities, meant to be a ritual of mourning for the femicides in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua: Art as a pathway of opposition and resistance to violence.
We invite you to be part of this initiative of art activism. Below is the link to the blog we have dedicated to this and where you will find the Call for Entries. This invitation is open to all individuals, groups, organizations, artists and activists. The events in March 2010 will include awareness raising creative workshops, intervention actions, plays and performances and the exhibition of the art work received through the call for entries and the resulting art from the workshops. http://unaoracionporjuarez.blogspot.com/
For those who do not live in Mexico City or Los Angeles metropolitan areas, we invite you to organize your own community activity during the same month of March, 2010. It could be an Art Exhibit, a book discussion, a movie screening, a poetry reading, etc. We ask you to include the original title of this event “A Prayer for Juarez,” and to send us your schedule, and later on, photos and documentation, to be included in the blog.
To include your event, or for any kind of issue related, please write to us:
In the US: aprayerforjuarez@gmail.com
In Mexico: unaoracionporjuarez@gmail.com
Creating protest art transcends culture and gender. We are united in a larger community of like-minds and humanitarian goals. We thank you in advance for your dedication and your prayers for the women of Ciudad Juarez. NI UNA MAS!
PLEASE FORWARD THIS DATA TO PEOPLE YOU KNOW
WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING

We will certainly visit The Marengo Collection next time we are in the area. Hopefully we can make it out there for the Rose Bowl this coming year. Enjoy!

- Hi Gail,
I just wanted to write you a note to tell you how much I love visiting The Folk Tree!!! My father lives in Pasadena and when we travel to see him, we walk to your store!!! So colorful and inspiring, I always pick up a new piece of tin or tiny Oaxacan wood carving for my collection. Great job of selecting and arranging all the items in the shop... next time I'm in the area I hope to be able to see one of the art shows, the new artists look wonderful.
:)

I must feel safe and secure enough to express my art in a way that will not be suppressed by my environment; that is when I feel safe, secure; when I feel as though I can produce anything. Memories, peace of mind and strong emotions also help. My ar…
