THE CHRONICLE -
Carter G. Woodson students explored
the diverse cultural experiences of
Hispanics in America last week during a
visit to the Milton Rhodes Center for the
Arts to learn about "Arts Punto de Vista -
Latino Perspectives," an exhibition of f
works by artists from across the state.
Maria" Sanchez-Boudy guided the stu
dents through the exhibit. She heads the
Hispanic Arts Initiative, which works with
local schools to infuse Hispanic culture
into the curriculum. Sanchez-Boudy was
delighted that Carter G. Woodson's entire
student body - more than 450 first
through 12th graders - viewed the exhibit,
which opened Jan. 10 and closed

entire school will be visiting this exhibit,"
declared Sanchez-Boudy, a native of
Cuba. "1 don't think that's ever hap
pened."

art," Punto de Vista offered a wide array
?of paintings, sculptures and mixed media
art that portrays the scope of the immi
grant experience from the perspective of
artists who originally hail from virtually
every nation in Latin America. The artists'
works explored seemingly every aspect of
immigration, from the idealistic hope that
attracts so many foreign born travelers to
American soil, to the faith and hard work
it takes to create a home in a new land.
Some images paid vivid homage to the
culture, traditions and life in the artists'
