But Soft, Sweet, and Dreamy by Anna Rose Menako
MARN ART + CULTURE HUB

But Soft, Sweet, and Dreamy centers around Anna Rose Menako’s most recent series of mixed media watercolors and hints at the interdisciplinary nature of her practice. Her new body of work, The Crush Series, encapsulates the innocent and timeless feeling of having a crush, and ushers in springtime as it blooms in the MARN Art + Culture HUB.

MARN and our featured artist invite the public to participate in this exhibition by contributing to a large canvas in the gallery – on Thursday and Friday nights in March, guests are welcome to paint their interpretation of romance, and in particular, what it means to have a crush on someone.

Chicano Power pays homage to the depth, perseverance, defiance, and celebration of Chicanismo by bringing together its origins, recent history, and contemporary creatives in a multi-faceted experience through the complexity of the artist’s perspectives. This is meant to open up a conversation on Chicanismo not just as an identity, but as a political statement, a practice, and a piece of history.
