North Scottsdale is the setting for the most exciting, worthwhile auction of the year. This charity provides the construction of an Arts and Cultural Center (and museum) in Sierra Madre Region in Sonora, Mexico. The artists here in the United States have a dream to help those less fortunate than themselves. Four artists responsible for making things happen are Guadalupe Apodaca, Jess Davila, Jason Napier and Pablo Antonio Milan. Their vision is to see this poverty stricken little village take pleasure with the opportunities that children in our country enjoy every day. Under these artists' direction this small community has come together with hopes and dreams of their own. dreams for tomorrow.


The expectations for this center start with their children. This is a school for the very young, teenagers, adults and grandparents alike. It is also open to people from other countries that want to learn about the villages in their communities, those wanting to learn the Spanish language, live with the people, take art classes, etc.

One of the artists in the group, Jess Davila, once lived in this little village. Jess Davila's father decided to take his son to the United States when Jess was in 3rd grade because this was the highest grade of education taught in this community. Jess's grandfather, very unhappy with the loss of his son and grandson, offered to give several acres of land and large amounts of money if they would just stay in Mexico. Jess's father gave up wealth just to give his son a good education. Jess's family came to the United States, started over again and Jess received the blessings of a good education.

The Huachinera Art and Cultural Center is a long term project to improve communities within the Sierra Madre Region in Sonora, Mexico by providing educational opportunities and creating jobs. Construction of the museum gave many workers jobs for months, thus improving the living conditions for families of the region.
So many trusting people have fallen victim to the desperation that draws them across our borders in hopes of a better life. Many innocent people have lost their lives because of their dreams for a better tomorrow. These four artists are leaders among a following of their fellow artists and patrons supporting the hopes and dreams for the Huachinera Art and Cultural Center.

These well known-artists responsible for this worthwhile charity Guadalupe Apodaca, Jess Davila, Jason Napier and Pablo Antonio Milan are pleased to announce that the government of Sonora agreed on a $3.00 match to every $1.00 contributed. The Internal Revenue Service has granted them a 501(C) 3 status. Proceeds from Saturday's auction allow the construction of the phase 2 cultural center to continue. Please join us for a pleasurable evening which will ultimately enable people of a depressed region to recognize artistic and economic achievement in their native environment, thereby strengthening families and preserving rural traditions. Cash donations are 100% tax deductible.

The preview for the auction begins Saturday, March 10th at 10am. The live auction begins at 7 P. M. Please join the hosts and participating artists for this festive gathering of authentic Mexican Cuisine and spirits. The auction is located within the tent of the Arizona Fine Art Expo at the southeast corner of Pinnacle Peak and Scottsdale Roads, in north Scottsdale. Admission is free.

This event is sponsored by: Arizona Fine Art Expo, Thunderbird Artists, Jalapeno's Inferno Mexican Bistro Café, Southwest Art Magazine, and Peerless
Event Partners. A special musical presentation will follow the auction. For more information, please visit www.cachheart.org.


Why is the center needed?
Until now, the majority of work in this region has consisted of farming and raising livestock. Recently, these forms of commerce have begun dwindling, forcing residents to leave for bigger cities or to cross the American border for an income, oftentimes separating families.


The center would create employment opportunities both in the short term and in the long term. There will be a demand for jobs in construction for the center as well as for hotels and hostels to accommodate the visiting artists and instructors. More importantly, in the long term, residents will be able to use their newfound skills and sharpened creativity to generate an income for themselves in their native town.

What proceeds will support:
The land and architectural designs have already been donated. The small town has recognized its need for artistic and economic enrichment and provided the land for the center, while two students of architecture from the University of Sonora designed the CACH headquarters for their thesis projects. Your contributions will help fund the construction of a permanent center and fund the supply of much needed art materials. Up to this point, the generous instructors who have taught at the center have provided all materials.
CACH has already attracted talented artists to travel to Huachinera and lead classes of their own, including courses in landscape painting, studio painting, sculpture, and pottery. The town is already becoming an artist’s haven. After teaching courses, some instructors have purchased property in the town, vowing to return regularly.

Artists Guadalupe Apodaca, Jess Davila, Jason Napier and Pablo Antonio Milan are leading the foundation of the center and hope that you will be interested in supporting this great cause.
