A Family Day with artist Vincent Valdez

The Rio Grande Valley Museum in Harlingen presents:

"A Family Day with Vincent"

Saturday, May 14th 
  12-4 pm

Rio Grande Valley Museum
499 Loop at the corner of Boxwood & Raintree
Across the loop from TSTC (Texas State Technical College)

An exhibit of exquisite, larger than life charcoal drawings by San Antonio artist Vincent Valdez chronicles the drama & excitement of a boxing match. On closer examination, the images parallel the life of Christ as seen in the Stations of the Cross. From either view, the work presents a striking look of the struggles in man's life and demonstrates the talent & insight of this outstanding young artist.

Mr. Valdez will visit the valley to meet with the community and to promote the exhibit on Saturday, May 14th in a cooperative effort between TSTC and the Rio Grande valley Museum. This event, "A Family Day with Vincent" promises to be memorable experience for all ages. 

Visitors will  have the opportunity to ride a trolley  from RGVM to TSTC and view the "Stations" exhibit. Activities at the RGVM will include a chance for young visitors to draw with the artist, who works with children in San Antonio. A film discussing Vincent's life and work will run continuously in the RGVM media theater. A reception hosted by the RGVM Association and the Narcisso Martinez Cultural center will begin at 2:00.

In addition, a bilingual comedy troupe, "Teatro Liberdad" from PSJA Liberty Middle School, will perform in the courtyard of the museum during the day. Tours of the historical houses featured at the RGVM, and an exhibit featuring the Nature of the Valley will round out the family day!

The public is invited free of charge. (Visitor may park at the RGVM parking lot and ride the trolley to TSTC from 12:00- 2:30). Reception from 2-4 pm.
