SUMMARY:Weslaco Museum Meet the Artist
DESCRIPTION:The Weslaco Museum welcomes a return exhibit with Rosendo Sandoval during the month of September. The public may meet the artist during a reception Sept. 9 at the museum. \n“Jim and Joann Farber have traveled far and wide during their 63 years of marriage. Throughout the years they have collected various artifacts from every country they have toured. Mexico became a favorite destination\, and the masks became a favorite collection. Many of these colorful masks will be sharing the Art Gallery with Sandoval’s art. \nSandoval was born in Tamaulipas\, México in 1957. When he was two years of age\, his family moved to the state of Nuevo León\, back to the place where they were from. His father died in 1968. This caused the family to immigrate to the United States two years later. Once they arrived in the U.S.\, they settled in Weslaco. \nAfter graduating from Weslaco High School in 1977\, he attended Pan American University where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art in 1982. Later\, he decided to continue his education and received two masters’ degrees in Art: a Master of Science in Art from Texas A&I University in Kingsville and a Master of Fine Arts in Art from UTPA in Edinburg. \nToday\, Sandoval resides in Elsa\, Texas\, where he lives with his wife and kids. He works as a full-time art teacher for the Mercedes I.S.D. and paints in his spare time. \nThe Weslaco Museum is open 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday.
