************************ WIth this year's GALA fast approaching, as I have done in the past two GALAs, I would like to offer to create a one of a kind allegory style painting for LACU. This work of art can be offered as an auction piece, program cover, or any multiple ways you believe this image would best benefit LACU. I believe an outstanding piece should convey the ideas and inspirations directly from the LACU community conveying how you believe the Latin community is positively represented in Pittsburgh. Please take the time to email me and share your ideas and feedback. I want this to be an interactive piece representing the true inspirational spirit of LACU!!! I am honored and excited to create an original work of art for LACU!!!!!! Some questions for the community.... 1) What subject matter reflects Latino today, progressively moving forward while connecting to their roots?...... 2) What excites you about the Latino culture in Pittsburgh?..... Mural and Portrait Artist: Alison Zapata. www.zapatastudios.com. 412-656-1114. alisonzapata@gmail.com ************************** My name is Ben Muessig, I’m an editorial intern at the Pittsburgh Tribune Review. I’m working on a piece about Latin American immigration to Pittsburgh, focusing particularly on the neighborhood of Beechview and its growing Mexican-American population. I’d love to set up an interview with anyone at the LACU organization who is interested in the subject. I’m interested in finding out why Pittsburgh has a slower rate of immigration than many comparable cities? What about Pittsburgh appeals to immigrants, what about Pittsburgh makes immigration challenging? Will Latin American immigration reach Pittsburgh at the same rates as the rest of the country? What could the city do to make the city more appealing for immigrants? I can be reached by phone or e-mail. Thanks so much for your time. Ben Muessig. bmuessig@tribweb.com - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. *********************** The next Latin American and Caribbean Heritage Room meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 25th at 5:30pm in room 4130 Posvar Hall (previously Forbes Quadrangle, www.heritageroom.org for directions).
