SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Colors of Life
DESCRIPTION:Colors of Life by Elena Diadenko \n  \nElena was born and raised in Ukraine\, and immigrated to the United States in 1992. She received her first art degrees from Myrgorod Ceramics College and Lviv National Academy of Arts in Ukraine. Later\, she received two masters’ degrees in interdisciplinary art and art education from Columbia College in Chicago. She has lived and worked in Chicago for 30 years and currently works at Schurz High School as an art teacher. She teaches Multimedia Art and College Level Art classes.In 2004\, she won a Golden Apple Award for excellence in teaching art. She loves her students and is passionate about teaching them the different aspects of art. She has participated in more than 60 art exhibitions including solo and group shows and art fairs in the Chicagoland area. This is her first solo exhibition at the Ukrainian National Museum. At the show tonight\, visitors will see art works from throughout different periods of her life. Recently\, she is focusing on painting art works that explore invisible aspects of the spiritual world and our desire to see it. In her glass paintings she is trying to preserve Ukrainian folk culture using an ancient Ukrainian technique with black outlines. In her acrylic paintings she combines abstract with figurative styles. Inspiration comes from life around the artist: “The world is so strange\, so attractive\, so multi-faceted- I can’t help but love it. All that I do\, all that I paint\, comes out of this love I feel for the world\, for all that is alive in this world\, for my fellow travelers\, and for God.”

SUMMARY:Somos La Plena
DESCRIPTION:A Chicago celebration of the life and legacy of Tito Matos\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nOn January 18\, 2022 the Puerto Rican cultural community was shocked by the news of the sudden departure of musical giant Tito Matos. After an extensive career as a master percussionist\, teacher and bandleader of Viento de Agua and La Máquina Insular\, Tito left a strong legacy of community work and cultural preservation in Puerto Rico and abroad. \nHis time living in New York\, as well as his relationship with Chicago’s musicians and cultural institutions allowed him to deepen his roots in the diaspora. He was a teacher\, mentor and friend for hundreds of plena practitioners across the globe. \nSRBCC is proud to partner with Tito’s closest friends from Puerto Rico and Chicago\, including Lagarto Figueroa\, Llonsi Martínez\, Ricardo Pons\, Noel Rosado\, Emanuel Santana (Puerto Rico)\, Ivelisse Díaz (La Escuelita Bombera de Corazón)\, Bomba con Buya \, Las Bompleneras and Los Pleneros de Don Segundo (Chicago) to celebrate his enduring legacy\, raise funds for La Casa de la Plena Tito Matos\, and establish a new scholarship for Chicago’s creative youth in his honor. \nJoin us in this Chicago celebration of the Life and Legacy of Héctor “Tito” Matos.
