Following the success of the 1st Concúrso de Ballet Folklórico, the ELAC Foundation decided to expand upon the annual celebration of Mexican dance. Since dance and music complement each other so well, the Concúrso de Mariachi was added.
The Latino Cultural Arts Festival
was held this year over the weekend of February 2 and 3, 2002 in the Ingalls
Auditorium / Edison Center for the Performing Arts. Each part of the event
is a fund raiser for a scholarship. The Concúrso de Ballet Folklórico
benefits the Ramon S. Ramos Memorial Scholarship fund while the Concúrso
de Mariachi supports the Jesus Sanchez Memorial Scholarship fund.
The ELAC Foundation is grateful to Mervyn's for sponsoring this years
Latino Cultural Arts Festival.
