Frida Kahlo, the Mexican artist known for her uniqueness and resiliency will represent Hispanic culture and eclectic art styles at this colorful event.
MDCA’s Executive Director Janet Gamache says “Viva La Frida celebrates the rich and diverse Hispanic culture right here in our area. We want people to come and recognize the contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Central and South America, Spain, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Each area brings its own unique flavor in art, music, and food. We invite everyone to come and enjoy a taste.”
A diverse line up of musical performances from Latin Jazz to Rock to Cuban Afro Funk will take the stage all day long.
Gamache says, “The event will also highlight some great partnerships in the art community. We are proud to host Orlando Opera who will perform some pieces from their upcoming production of ‘Frida.’ We also have No Borders Art Competition who will run a fast-paced drawing contest on stage and local artist PJ Svejda of Studio Art Farm will paint a mural on site for guests to watch and enjoy.”
Visitors can expect delicious food like empanadas, ceviche, arepas, and paella. Mojitos and Spanish beer will be available along with other specialty cocktails on site and more than 50 artists and merchandise vendors will be set up to show and sell their goods.
Hispanic community outreach organizations will also be available to assist the public with Spanish speaking reps.
Get dressed up and put your best Frida face on to enter the Frida look-alike contest. You can also head over to the MDCA gallery to view the winners of the Frida art competition located across the street from the festival at 138 E.5th Ave Mount Dora, FL.
