Elton Monroy Durán is a featured artist at Tlatecayotl Cuacualtzin (Art is Beautiful), an exhibit at the Lorenzo Cultural Center featuring the captivating world of Mexico’s artistic heritage!

Born in Sahagun, Hidalgo, Mexico, Durán grew up in Tula, Hidalgo – one of Mexico’s oldest continuously inhabited cities and a center of Toltc culture. Through his culturally rich upbringing, he quickly discovered a passion for art, and how it can be used to reveal the history of extinct civilizations.

Arturo Morales Romero is a featured artist at Tlatecayotl Cuacualtzin (Art is Beautiful), an exhibit at the Lorenzo Cultural Center featuring the captivating world of Mexico’s artistic heritage!

Born in Tepetixtia – a town in the state of Guerrero, Mexico – Arturo is a first generation of migrant workers in the United States. His mother brought him and his three sisters to Visalia, California, in 1989, where they worked in fields while attending elementary, middle, and high school. After graduating high school in 1997, he studied art at the College of the Sequoias for two years, then moved to North Carolina in 2000. In 2009, Arturo enrolled at Forsyth Technical Community College, where he studied Automotive Custom Fabrication, Custom Paint, and Auto Body Repair. However, his artistic passions go far before his educational experience, as he began painting as early as six years old. Creating colorfully vibrant works expressing extensive emotion and skill, Arturo finds that the inspiration for his artwork come from family. He specifically mentions his wife, Erica, and his children: Cuauhtemoc Eloy, Emiliano, Pilar, Julio Armando, and Xitlali Alicia.

The Lorenzo Cultural Center is proud to present, “We are Coming, Father Abram: Michigan in the Civil War," a talk that steps back in time to explore Michigan’s key role in the Civil War! The First Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment arrived at the nation's capital soon after Michiganders learned that southerners attempted secession, firing on the U.S. flag flying over Fort Sumter in the Charleston, South Carolina, harbor. From then on, more than 90,000 Michiganders served in Union blue, seeing action in all the war’s major battles and hundreds of lesser clashes. Listen to Roger Rosentreter, esteemed history professor from Michigan State University, who will delve into Michigan’s unique contributions during this tumultuous period. From major battles to countless skirmishes, Michiganders stood firm in their duty to a free and fraternal government. April 11th, 11am.
