Vochol® ; Student artwork program in Denver

Call for Participation to All DPS Arts Students

Let’s welcome Vochol®  to Denver by showcasing the ingenuity of DPS  arts students!

The concept of Vochol®  – Huichol Art on Wheels  was developed by personnel at the Museo de Arte Popular. This was after they saw a series of other cars with the same concept, yet different materials.

Vochol®  is the Culmination of:

9,408 hours  -  2000,000 glass seed beads  -  35 lbs of special resin, fabric, pain, and yarn

-  the Creative inspiration of two Wixarika (Huichol) families from West Central Mexico.

 Vochol®  will be on display at the Denver International Airport from June – August, 2012
