Michaele Morales, quite often uses the word “empowering” in her
vocabulary, for she dedicates much of her time in assisting the
community to become self-sufficient through education, family support
and being an active participant in associations that meet her goals. Yolanda Martinez' story begins on p. 1.
 Ariana Aparicio, Person of the Month,
May, 2018, was recently accepted to the Master of Education
program in Higher Education at Harvard University. She is the
first person in her family to graduate from high school and obtain a
college degree. “I want to make my Latino community proud by
showing them that someone with my background can make it and be
admitted to an institution like Harvard. That is why I want to share
my story because it was with the help and support of my local
community that I was able to get this far.” Click here for more photos by Jeff Kan Lee.

2014:  Click here for photos. He’s 28 years old. He’s the first Latino and youngest
person to be elected as a trustee on the Sonoma County Board of
Education. He will be sworn in on December 4th. Then he will rush back
to Guerneville to deliver a speech for the tree lighting to open his
hometown’s three day Holiday Extravaganza. His name is Herman Gabriel Hernandez. Click here to read the article in the December 2014 issue of La Voz, "A native Son of Sonoma County" by Craig Davis.
2013: Aurelio Hurtado’s life has been a long march for farmworker’s rights and for those that are underrepresented and consequently disadvantaged. He marched alongside Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta and campaigned for Bobby Kennedy. He joined the Native Americans and African-Americans in a quest for justice and helped found the California Human Development Corporation (CHD), a beacon of hope for the poorest of the poor; the immigrant artists of this beautiful landscape we call the North Bay. After 45 years of working for farmworker’s rights through CHD, Aurelio Hurtado retired this past June, leaving a legacy of service that empowers and inspires. We sat down with him to get a glimpse of the man behind the legend.

Court Appointed Special Advocates or CASAs,
everyday citizens in our community who help children and youth in
foster care to navigate trauma or neglect experienced and ensure that
their future is more hopeful than their past. They encourage the judge
and caregiving team to view the child as an individual, and they
advocate for the best placement, connection to extended family,
celebration of the child's heritage, and support steps towards
permanency, including adoption if appropriate.
Research shows that children in foster care who have a CASA: Have
better educational outcome; Are more likely to be enrolled in school;
Get more educational, therapeutic and medical services; Are more
likely to be re-united with their families; Are administered fewer
Psychotropic medications; Spend less time in foster care.
Every day, CASAs are speaking for the best interests of
children and youth in foster care, including Native American children.

Celebrating the centennial of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International

commemorate the opening of the Panama Canal and promoted the city’s
recovery following the 1906 earthquake. At its heart was one of the most
ambitious art exhibitions ever presented in the US—a comprehensive
survey of American painting, sculpture and printmaking as well as
European works drawn from international public and private collections. Click here to see close-up photos of the exhibit from the press preview by Ani Weaver.

Legion of Honor Exhibit: Impressionists on the Water, June 1 through October 13, 2013,
The Legion of Honor's big summer show, highlights the
Impressionists’ and Post-Impressionists’ love
affair with the rivers and seashore of France, and
with the fashionable new pursuit of yachting. It
features paintings, works on paper – and 19th
century boat models. We explore
the sparkling
world of leisure and yacht racing at Argenteuil,
outside Paris, and discover how artists like Monet, Renoir,
Caillbotte and Toulouse-Lautrec responded
in radical ways to themes of water and sailing in their work.
You will have to go to the museum to see the paintings in their
entirety, this is just a taste. The people shown are leading the press

Cindy Sherman, con
una retrospectiva viajera de una de las artistas contemporáneas más
importantes y posiblemente una de las que han tenido mayor influencia
trabajando exclusivamente con la fotografía. Durante 30 años, Sherman se
ha fotografiado asimisma bajo un amplio rango de apariencias y
personajes que se convierten en fascinantes e inquietantes,
desagradables y conmovedores.
Cindy Sherman, a traveling retrospective of one
of the most significant contemporary artists and arguably the most
influential one working exclusively with photography. For thirty years,
Sherman has photographed herself in a range of guises and personas that
are by turns amusing and disturbing, distasteful
and affecting.

The San Francisco Museum of
Modern Art (SFMOMA) blurred the line between fine arts and performing
arts with its exhibition Stage Presence: Theatricality in Art and
Media, which ended in October, 2012. Organized by Curator of
Media Arts Rudolf Frieling, the exhibition presents works in a variety
of media and features a series of performances that explore the
influence of theater, dance, and performance in contemporary art.
Stage Presence gathered three decades of works
by 40 artists including some key works from the SFMOMA media arts
collection, all of which embrace theatricality in contemporary art
practice. Exuberant manifestations of the “stage” emerge, such as beauty
pageants; a dance troupe in post-punk London; artists dressed as a bear
and a rat walking through the Swiss Alps; and a family occupying
in-store Ikea model rooms. Some of the works are humorous and camp,
while others are critical and subversive.
