City Arts Groups and UNM Fine Arts to Honor Luis Jiminez. New Mexico

“Homenaje””A Celebration in Honor of Luis Jiménez is scheduled for Saturday, Aug.12, at 3 p.m., at the National Hispanic Cultural Center’s Albuquerque Journal Theatre, located at 1701 4th Street in Albuquerque.

Holly Barnet-Sanchez, associate dean in the University of New Mexico College of Fine Arts, said, “The intent is to bring arts communities and the general public together to reflect on the life and work of Luis Jiménez, who believed strongly that his art belonged to the public. His artistic accomplishments, along with his memory, forever belong to arts communities worldwide. We have lost the man, but not his spirit or his art. The event will celebrate his work, people’s memories and experiences with him, as well as honor his dedication to the arts. Luis was a generous man with his talents, and he mentored many young artists.””
