Update: The Huichol Cultural event will now take place at the Galeria Tanana instead of the Casa de la Cultura, this Sunday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Sayulita, Mexico - The non-profit "Gallery Tanana" is organizing a cultural event for the whole family about Huichol art and traditions on Sunday, April 21st between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm.

Come to the "Casa de la Cultura de Sayulita" and participate in art activities for children, community projects, Huichol music, and much more! Celebrate the rich Huichol Culture that is an important part of the history of Nayarit and Jalisco!

The activities will include: God’s Eye workshop, coloring table of Huichol symbols, drum circle, facepainting, storytelling, construction of an altar for the Corn Goddess and more!

Galeria Tanana, named after the Huichol Goddess of Life, specializes in unique Huichol art and fashion designer jewelry. The gallery was founded by anthropologist/jewelry designer Susana Valadez to raise funds for her non-profit project. All proceeds from the sales in this store directly support the Huichol Center for Cultural Survival and Traditional Arts - founded in 1981.

The goal of Galeria Tanana/Huichol Center is to create enduring lifelines between Huichol traditions and the future - lifelines that allow traditional wisdom to thrive in the 21st Century by empowering the people who carry its spirit and substance.

To ensure that ancient Huichol shamanic wisdom and tribal arts are passed on to future generations we:

• Help impoverished artists enhance their art and market their skills to create economic self-sufficiency.

• Support tribal shamans and archive their metaphysical and botanical knowledge.

• Teach Huichol students computer literacy to document and share their knowledge with the global community.

• Promote organic gardening, permaculture, nutrition, and health education to prolong longevity of the tribe.
