 Thank You for Your Heart!
I would like to personally express my thanks to everyone who participated in our "Milagros del Corazon" event which took place on Friday, Feb 13th at our CHAC Norte gallery. Over 500 people attended! Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time.
Generous artists donated over 275 hearts and several pieces of original art. James Garcia and Ricardo Olmos serenaded us with incredible guitar music. The lovely decorations were designed by Co-chair of the event Steve Rozic. Tony Vecchio provided the delicious food! Roberto Fernandez, our awesome MC traveled all the way from New York City to volunteer his time. This evening was a great success thanks to our amazing community support.
Thank you again from my heart to yours -- Crystal O'Brien, Executive Director

Stevon Lucero is on a spiritual journey. More than a visual artist he is in truth, a philosopher artist. Each painting reflects a metaphor of his own internal dialogue between himself and God.
