The 2007 Hispanic Art Exhibit
The Hispanic Art Exhibit, curated by Charlene Garcia Simms of El
Escritorio and HILO, was an 11 day exhibit at the
Colorado State Fair in Pueblo, Colorado. This years Gold Sponsor was Colorado State University - Pueblo. The exhibit featured artists
from Colorado and the Southwest. The theme this
year was Ritmos de nuestra cultura , Rhythms of our Culture. This year the exhibit attracted over 8,000 visitors and was very
well received by the fairgoers.
This is the eighth year that both El Escritorio and HILO have
coordinated this Colorado State Fair event (2000 - 2007). El Escritorio has published all of
the Art Exhibit brochures featured on these web pages and has published the expanded Días de Fiesta magazine edition this year. This exhibit was
preceded by five years of an art and cultural event sponsored by El
Escritorio and HILO, Festival de las
Artes (1994 - 1998).
Thanks to the Colorado State Fair and to Colorado State University - Pueblo for supporting the Hispanic Art Exhibit.

Upcoming Projects
HILO, meaning the thread in Spanish, is planning to initiate an on-line Indo-Hispano book catalogue system with the establishment of Indo-Hispano Information Net. The goal of this internet based resource will be to provide up-to-date and accurate information about books, other publications and media that address the Native American and Hispano communities.
Research Services
We hope to link our research to our on-line offering of Indo-Hispano Resources. We are available to do specific research projects on request. There will be a charge, based on scope, for our services. We specialize in genealogical, historical and statistical research, and documentation of oral traditions about the peoples of the Southwest.
