So much going on and always on Divine Time! October is not over… so much to do, see and share. As we shift from one season to the next, it’s like shedding old skin and growing a new layer. It’s new growth, a new beginning, fresh start and a new day. The Fall is Mother Nature’s canvas of color and explosion. The changing colors of Autumn is inspiring, changing shapes and moods of sky and nature is a welcoming art piece that only Mother Nature can provide. It’s a beautiful collaboration of nature and universe providing us with inspiration to grow, explore and contribute to the beauty.

A MUST SEE!!!…Rock WILK…. High energy, honest, and unforgettable, BROKE WIDE OPEN is a poetic and orchestral unveiling of truth with Rock WILK as both maestro and menace. In BROKE WIDE OPEN, Rock WILK, fostered three times and finally adopted as a baby, takes us on a journey where he recounts and relives life changing consequences and decisions. Like martyr, like savior, like rebel without pause, Rock WILK is insistently fighting to enlighten and protect anyone and everyone in his path. A force, a hurricane, a cyclone of well intentioned chaos, Rock WILK is a tempest of love; he is valor and destruction all wrapped up into one. Testing the limits of every relationship in his life, Rock WILK’s journey to explore cause, and find home, becomes both incessant and reluctant. Emotionally gripping and spiritually giving, BROKE WIDE OPEN is also hopeful with pockets of laugh out-loud, comedic revelation. Get your tickets TODAY!!

Cost: $15.00 INCLUDES ALL SUPPLIES
*** MUST BRING AN APRON TO PROTECT CLOTHING ***
A vejigante is a folkloric character in Puerto Rican festival celebrations (mainly seen in Carnival time). Traditional colors of the Vejigantes were black, red, white, and yellow. Today, vejigantes wear brightly colored, ornate masks of all colors and a costume with bat-like wings. The term vejigante derives from the word vejiga (bladder) and gigante (giant), due to custom of blowing up and painting cow bladders. The masks are often linked to many festivals that continue today, especially in Loíza and Ponce.
We will discuss the history of the Vejigante masks and create one of our very own to be displayed as a piece of art.
