What a wonderful evening of visual and performance arts! We had a whopping 1,222 people share in our Piñatapalooza festivities! What do you say we do it again next year, San Antonio? Even bigger and better! A huge thank you to all the wonderful community members that helped us make this event possible Downtown SATX, Travis Park, Center City Development & Operations Department, Centro San Antonio, Piñata Time, Tienda La Garza, Bailando Sin Fronteras, and Nicolas Valdez! A special thank you to Mr. Medina, Mr. Gonzalez-Martinez, HFA Staff, and all our talented students. Have a restful weekend everyone!

Paleta Cart
Artist: Gavynne
Senior
“I chose to make a paleta cart because my favorite childhood memory was searching for a dollar to go buy a paleta in our neighborhood. Unfortunately, things have become unsafe and I don’t see the carts very often. So I made my own.”
You don’t want to miss seeing what is inside this piñata!

Four Seasons

Q: Why did you title this piece “Four Seasons” ?
A: I added a Vivaldi quote to the back of the violin. “There are no words, it’s only music there.”

Phil the Fish
Artist: Petra Q.
Sophomore
Q: What did you like most about the piñata making process?
A: I liked the process. It was tough! I had to restart 3 times to get it just right. It’s hard to believe that the almond-shape I started off with, turned into this beautiful fish!
Great work, Petra!
Join us at Piñatapalooza this Friday to see more piñatas!
