Creativity Speaks: Estella Sanchez and Xico González

Join us as we recognize and celebrate the efforts of two creatives and their commitment to social justice and empowering the Chicano community and similarly under-served communities. Meet Estella Sanchez, Founder of Sol Collective, a community-based partnership whose mission is to provide artistic, cultural, and educational programming, promote social justice, and empower youth through art, activism, music, and media experience; and Xico González, an award winning educator, curator, interdisciplinary artist, poet, and a political and cultural activista/organizer.
