PANCHIMALCO

Talented Art Students And me
Mural in progress

Artists working
    Panchimalco is a beautiful village still inhabited by many Pancho Indians who are descendants of the Pipil tribe who were strong in the hills around here, and they fought off the Spanish troops longer than most Indigenous people in El Salvador.  Today I had the opportunity to meet and discuss the possibility of working at the Cultural Center with young local artists on murals and art projects which show their rich and vibrant culture.  Some of the youth are working on a mural in progress now.  Their talent and creativity are amazing, and i thank them for sharing a day of art with me.
