The colorful exhibition focus addresses the role of Ballet Folklorico, as a Mexican traditional art form in the United States, and why it is important in a region where homogenization strips our culture away from our community. The exhibition is also part of the Galería’s celebration of Mexican Independence Day Friday, Sept 16.

Notably, the costumes on exhibit are handmade by Instituto Mazatlan Bellas Artes’s founder and Executive Director Yolanda Colusio and by her students under her supervision. While growing up in Calexico, a small town on the border of Mexico and California, Colosio developed a love and appreciation for the Mexican traditional art form Ballet Folklorico. To assure authenticity, many costumes are created from fabrics and notions hand picked by Colosio on her trips to Mexico. Costumes on display will be from many states, showing the influences of indigenous Indians, the Spanish and African/Moorish.

In addition to the exhibition, there will be a talk by Instituto Mazatlan Bellas Artes’s artistic director Steven Valencia entitled "All About Ballet Folklorico."
