Frida Kahlo,
the illustrious unibrowed and colorfully clad artist continues to be a source of
inspiration for countless artists, writers, and creative types. We’re Frida
fans ourselves, which is why we’re dedicating a post to Frida and all of the
happenings around Casa Artelexia that celebrate her:
The Frida
Kahlo Photo Collage Workshop
Last
Saturday we hosted a Frida Kahlo photo collage workshop where participants
chose large black & white photos of Frida (we had Diego too!) and used them
to create their own one of a kind collages on canvas.
We supplied milagro
charms, colorful feathers and garland, neon paint, Mexican fabric, Loteria
cards, stamps, glitter, and other crafty goodies. The result was a plethora of
beautiful, bright artwork, each piece unique, some with a story behind them. This
was definitely a group of super creative artists!
Frida Kahlo
Party and Look-Alike Contest
On June 29th,
we’ll be hosting our annual Frida Kahlo party and Look-Alike Contest in celebration
of Frida’s birthday. It’ll be a party like none other, with tightly braided
hair, painted unibrows, and frilly Mexican dresses.
Frida fans
will compete in different contest categories for the title of best Frida, and
we’ll have a photobooth, arts and crafts (paper flower crowns!), and drinks and
snacks. So get ready to “go all out” in your best Frida outfits and grow out
those unibrows (…just kidding)!
