MARCH 19 --- COMADRES OUTING TO SOFRITO

Many thanks to Comadre Jacklyn Rosa, Director of Artists for Creative Theatre, for the invitation and discount to see Organic Sofrito by Venessa Diaz. The one-woman show was held at the Flamboyant Theatre, and proceeds went to the Mariafund to help victims in Puerto Rico.

Over 22 Comadres were present to enjoy the show. Some even had an early supper at El Castillo del Jagua. (The mofongo was delicious!) It was a great night, a wonderful show. Again, many thanks to Jacklyn for the invitation, and Congratulations to Venessa on her grand performance.

And a big Thank You to all the Comadres who attend.

MOSAIC WORKSHOP WITH ARTIST MANNY VEGA

It’s always a fun day when I get to spend it with #MyComadres!

Thanks to Comadre Nydia Marsella for arranging a private mosaic workshop with artist Manny Vega on Saturday, January 27. Manny specializes in Murals, Illustration, Printmaking, Beadwork, Theatrical and Costume Design. Many of you might have seen the beautiful mosaic he created for the old La Casa Azul Bookstore; plus, his other mosaics around Harlem. To learn more about Manny and see his work, visit him at http://artbymannyvega.com.

All Comadres finished their mosaic masterpieces during the workshop. We are happy to share pictures of our “collaboration” with Manny. #ComadresFun!
