FILMMAKER DANNI NUTTER WILL HOLD FUNDRAISER, C-3 www.parkrecord.com RUBY CHACÓN’S PAINTINGS TELL CULTURAL STORIES, C-5 C-1 WED/THURS/FRI, MAY 31-JUNE 2, 2017 Latino Arts Festival celebrates year two Saturday’s event has been moved to the Park City Library By SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record The Christian Center of Park City presented its first-annual Latino Arts Festival last year to introduce the greater Park City area to local Latino culture. The event was held at the Christian Center and featured visual art, food, live music and dance, Maximo Ventura, Christian Center of Park City’s Latino outreach coordinator said. “We originally wanted to see how people would receive the proposal for the festival and launch a professional presentation to Park City and nearby communities,” Ventura told The Park Record. “It was more successful beyond what we expected.” This year’s festival, which will be held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 3, has been moved from the Christian Center to the Park City Library, 1255 Park Ave. Ventura said there are two reasons for the move. “First of all, the event has grown since last year,” he said. “We will have more visual artists and musicians who will participate.” The second reason is because the Christian Center of Park City’s headquarters at Deer Valley Drive is being remodeled. “We are doing that so we can better serve Park City and Summit County,” Ventura said. This year’s festival will represent close to eight or 10 different countries, including Bolivia, Spain, Guatemala, Dominican Republic and Mexico, Ventura said. We’re focusing on five aspects: visual arts -- including painting, music and sculpture -- film, dancing, music and food,” he said. “We will have seven different artists this year as well. We will focus on the interaction between artist and the guests.” Moving the festival to the Library means more space and access to other facilities such as the digital film projector at the Jim Santy Auditorium, which made it easy for the Sundance Institute to get involved. Sundance will screen Richard Ray Perez and Lorena Parlee’s documentary, “Cesar ‘s Last Fast” at 5 p.m., Ventura said. “The film is about Cesar Chavez Please see Festival, C-5 TOP PHOTO: JEAN CARLOS // BOTTOM PHOTO: LEONEL INCIARTE The Christian Center of Park City will present the second Latino Arts Festival on Saturday at the Park City. The event will feature handcrafted arts, music, food and a free screening of Richard Ray Perez and Lorena Parlee’s “Cesar’s Last Fast.” Park City Treble Makers sing for kid’s sake Donations from the spring concert will benefit Justice Center By SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Park City Treble Makers are ready to make some music.
