Salon del RGV floricanto for Gloria Anzaldúa

The public is invited to join a special edition of our artsy and intellectual casual Salon del RGV conversations on the 3rd Thursday of each month from 7 to 9 p.m. at CommonSpace coffee shop in McAllen.

This month, we will be offering poetic gifts in the form of a floricanto to honor the memory of the late Chicana scholar and queer theorist, artist, poet, and editor Gloria E. Anzaldúa.

Salon del RGV is brought to you by the Seven To Eight Poetry Project, a program of McAllen Poet Laureate emeritus, Daniel García Ordaz.

“Salon” sa•lon noun 1. an artful conversation held monthly where artists, writers, and arts professionals, and arts and philosophy-minded individuals come together to bond, network and get out of their heads for a little while. It is a conversation; a support group; sometimes a counseling session; always a networking extravaganza; an experimental lab for new ideas; a place to learn and grow by leaps and bounds as an artist and a professional.
