"The Outburst of the Soul" A discussion with Painter/Artist, Alfredo Arreguin

Born in 1935 in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico. At age nine, Arreguin became the youngest student at the Morelia School of Fine Art. He has received numerous awards, including a Humanitarian Award by the Washington State Legislator, a Governor's Award from the State of Washington, and a National Endowment for the Arts Visual Artists Fellowship Grant. In 1995 Arreguin received an OHTLI Award, the highest recognition given by the Mexican government to the commitment of distinguished individuals who perform activities that contribute to promote Mexican culture abroad. His paintings are in exhibition at the prestigious Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. One of his Paintings included in this show, The Return to Aztlan, will remain in the permanent collection of the gallery. Thank you Alfredo Arreguin for adding joy to the human spirit.
