San Jose Community Artists Empowering Youth

Together We Create will be hosting a large group of artists at Mexica New Year varying in age and experience. Ranging from newcomers to well-established graffiti, abstract, representational, and many more variations of artistic styles, there is an artist for everyone’s taste. Together We Create are educators, artists, entertainers and recognize the need for quality art.

Join us as TWC produces 24 finished 4'x8' murals in the span of two days. Spectators can't help but be captivated by watching the process of having an empty large-scale canvas transform into a stunning and colorful masterpiece in just hours. As the artists collectively complete these pieces, everyone is welcome to watch, learn, and even take pictures as these soon become backdrops for some unique photo opportunities.

TWC: Elba Raquel, Mesengr, Wisper, Hueso Macizo

Guests: Mike Stefanski, Sarah Gee, Stella and Money (Collab), Sylvia De La Garza, Force and Betty Proper (Collab), Chachaa, Augie, Aranza Valencia, Jimmy Paints, Kalaka Arts, Karla, Kolekt, Lucia M, Mario Aguilar, King, Daddi Margo, Dawll, Driftin, Eddie Ramirez, Francisco Ramirez.

Previous Virtual Mexica New Year 2021

Due to the current pandemic, last year's ceremony was broadcast live from San Jose, CA, and streamed through two platforms, YouTube and Facebook Live. We needed to keep our yearly ceremony alive and active for everyone to enjoy from the comfort of their homes where they felt safe. Now more than ever we must remember the ancient ways of taking care of our bodies, our homes, and preserving the culture.
