THE ART OF ERNESTO CUEVAS, JR
 

Our community mural process is rooted in dialogues and discussions that allow participants to achieve a collective consciousness. This allows for the presentation of a voice that captures everyone's ideas.

After participants have developed their ideas they must work collectively to produce their artwork. We facilitate this process in an efficient coordinated manner. Every person has a job. Every person participates.

Here are a few of our final murals. The images represented are those of the participants not the facilitators.

Barrio Works is a special effort in San Antonio where families inform, inspire & empower themselves to affect change. We want to take art directly into our neighborhoods. We recognize that our neighborhoods are already cultural creative spaces. We want to clean, collaborate and create in our alley ways, in people’s yards, on garage walls and other spaces not currently engaged.

Gente helping each other. The Gente Project is a series of forums we created so that community members could share resources, inspiration, accountability, information, and action in various aspects of life. HEALTHYgente, CREATIVEgente, and EDUgente are vehicles for people to reach out and ask for support or offer advice. You can join our groups on Facebook to be part of this amazing community effort.
