Featured: Issue 8.4 “Profiles” — Erin Salazar, @mauv.es

“The goal…is a collective want to make San Jose, and the whole area for that matter, look as beautiful on the outside as I feel it does on the inside.” - @mauv.es 

Artist, muralist, seamstress, and founder of @localcolorsj Erin Salazar has been on a quest, advocating for large, public artworks in San Jose, with a particular emphasis on the rights of artists to be paid professional wages for their work. Using grant funds, she created the Exhibition District, a group with the goal of transforming over 40,000 feet of blank walls into original works of art. 

A graduate of San José State, Salazar is also an artist, and she still creates, but beautifying the city while simultaneously advocating for the rights of local artists has become her higher calling. 

Join @sjculture and the Art Commission in celebrating @mauv.es next Friday as this year’s Cornerstone of the Arts Luminary Artist Honoree, alongside Creative Impact Honoree @1culture_, and Cornerstone of the Arts Honoree Diane Brandenburg. 

Cornerstone of the Arts Awards

Doors open 5:30p

Although newer buildings loom large along bustling Santa Clara Street, Foto Express has survived relatively unscathed, providing a place for photographers to rent equipment and develop film since 1987… While the Valley grows and expands, Chang has learned to adapt to the digital age, but Foto Express—known for its customer service and specialties—still stands as an icon of a more traditional, intimate style of business.

“Over the years, I’ve worked with a lot of students, and it’s great to see some of them nurture a real passion for photography…Watching that passion grow is probably the most rewarding part of my job.” — Henry Chang
