SUMMARY:La Ceiba: The Sacred Tree of Life Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:La Ceiba: The Sacred Tree of Life Art Exhibition \, opens Satur
 day\, October 19 and runs through Sunday\, November 3\, 2024. Paintings an
 d photographs in the exhibit reflect a diversity of artists in the North T
 exas region. Their approach examines one or all aspects of death\, life\,
  and rebirth. While not prevalent in today’s over stimulated popular cultu
 re\, the mythology of the Maya is transformed into a sublime visual langua
 ge. Paintings\, photographs and relief works include innovative techniques
  to introspective narratives. \nCentering the exhibition\, The Banquet is
  a site-specific work transforming the Art Deco main hall of the Crown Hil
 l Mausoleum into a dramatic space celebrating life by artist Art Garcia. \
 nInfluenced by both\, Maya mythology the Ceiba tree (a link to the worlds
  underground\, earthly existence\, and heavens) and Día de los Muertos fro
 m a blend of Christian and Mayan (with alters and ofrendas to loved ones)\
 , The Banquet offers a glimpse into spiritual worlds\, through offerings a
 t the dinner table. Expanding on the traditional offering at the altar\, t
 he installation sets a banquet. It becomes a heavenly gathering\, honoring
  21 distinct lives\, people who are buried in Crown Hill Memorial Park and
  Mausoleum\, a cemetery in Dallas\, Texas and the site of the installation
 . \n The Dinner Party by Judy Chicago honored the lives and accomplishment
 s of women at a time when women were often omitted from history and conver
 sation-remembered\, if at all\, only as secondary characters. The Banquet
  celebrates the lives of people who may have lived quiet lives\, who may b
 e all but forgotten today\, who the viewer may not know but will recognize
  as distinct lives from the displays at each place setting. \n“I value the
  traditions of my ancestors. Our rich culture seems more tangible today li
 ke never before. The traditional way of building an ofrenda is to apply ev
 erything that reminds us of our loved one on the altar.  The Banquet is a
  spiritual space\, one where the ofrenda and the heavens are as one\, wher
 e life and death and rebirth become one. Where we can take time to listen
  to the quiet\, small voices of those who are no longer with us\, recogniz
 ing them as a distinct life\,” says Garcia. \n Grand Opening Celebración D
