Celebrating the art of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, this food, drink and crafting night is hosted by Tortas Ahogadas Tradición Tapatía Espacia Tlaquepaque. Kahlo, known for her surrealist self portraits, used her canvases to spur conversations on politics, gender, race and identity. In honor of Kahlo’s birth month, Tlaquepaque brings artist and muralist Juan Solis to their patio for a painting workshop and Kahlo crash course. Solis, who has been painting since he was 12, honed his craft under the guidance of famed muralist George Yepes. There will be a raffle, complimentary drinks and opportunities to purchase some of Solis’s art pieces.
