The Hispanic Arts Initiative provides platforms for Latino visual and performing artists; raising awareness about Latino culture, and our fast-changing social demographics. The organization's signature event is the annual Latino Visual Artists Exhibit. Punto de Vista: Latino Perspectives opens this Friday at the Womble Carlyle Gallery of the Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts. Hispanic Arts Initiative Executive Director Maria Sanchez-Boudy spoke with me recently about the exhibition, and David Ford began by asking her how the Hispanic Arts Initiative goes about enhancing cultural inclusion here in the Triad.
On Wednesday nights in Winston-Salem, there's a unique service happening at Centenary United Methodist Church. It's called Roots Revival, and it features outstanding local, regional and national musicians performing live in Centenary's newly renovated auditorium. The Wednesday night sermons are based on the song texts from that evening's performers. Each song is carefully selected in coordination with the minister, musicians, and Roots Revival Music Director, singer/songwriter Martha Bassett. She spoke with me about a new concert series at Centenary.
Stopping in for a bite at Muddy Creek Cafe in Bethania is a little like stepping back in time.
