Exhibition

Ancient Roots/New Visions

Friday, Aug 17–Sunday, Oct 28, 1979

Ontario Street

This traveling exhibition illustrates the deep concern of the participating artists with the dynamics of their past and present cultures. The work reflects the tremendous vitality and diversity of these artists in four thematic categories: pre-Columbian roots and rituals; “santo retablo” and folk art traditions; art of the barrio and political art; and inner vision, avant-garde, and international currents.

It was organized by Tucson Museum of Art and Fondo del Sol Visual Arts Center, Washington, DC.
