Tertulia Art + Conversation with Mario Mesquita

FREE!

Join artist Mario Mesquita for a dynamic tertulia, featuring a hands-on mini workshop and community conversation. Attendees will be invited to “Draw Your Dish,” creating illustrations of meaningful foods from their culture or upbringing, followed by a roundtable storytelling session exploring food, identity, and shared memory. Inspired by the Paletas Communal Social Club project, this gathering creates space for reflection, laughter, and cultural connection. All materials provided—just bring your stories, curiosity, and appetite for connection. Mario is a Milagro Artist Fund recipient, and this event offers a glimpse into his evolving community-centered art practice. Come escape the heat, talk about food, and meet some great new folks!
