“Elda Silva at the Express-News provides this article on the turmoil surrounding the management and leadership at the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center in San Antonio. The Guadalupe’s history is staked in the Chicano movement; a place where politics and art come together to provide an empowering experience. It’s been a place where Chicano kids have had the opportunity to get experience in teatro, visual arts, and more–not only in performance, but also as spectators.
In spite of the Guadalupe’s tumultuous history, there always was something happening at the modest center with the blue tile facade at the corner of Guadalupe and Brazos streets. Acclaimed writers such as one-time staffer Sandra Cisneros and Carlos Fuentes once read from their works there. Actor Jesse Borrego and the comedy troupe Culture Clash performed on the Guadalupe Theater stage. Edward James Olmos screened his movie “American Me.” Hot young artist Vincent Valdez had his first one-man show there. “
