BTS of episode 19: A conversation with Sara Phalen and Fernando Ramirez, as they travel to Chiapas, Mexico

Come along as Sara and Fernando talk about their travel to Chiapas, Mexico, and the bonding experience with the Mexican Cultural Arts Alliance. The Mexican Cultural Arts Alliance is made up of leaders from eight Mexican cultural institutions from West Chicago, Denver, Fresno, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, Atlanta, and Chiapas. The group has been collaborating for almost two years and during this amazing trip we got to strengthen our bond with artists in Chiapas, some of whom will travel to the United States later this year. Thank you Portales del Arte en Chiapas for hosting us and allowing us to be part of your sensational art exhibit as you work to create a Contemporary Arts Center for the visual artists and give a platform for international recognition. Thank you to Carlos Tortolero, founder and President of the National Museum of Mexican Art for all of your mentorship and leadership in this Alliance! We are so grateful to be part of this family and look forward to all that lies ahead!
