Art
Zona Rosa Caffe has hosted many local artists over the years. Some notable exhibitors include: R. Kenton Nelson, Jose Ramirez, Vibiana Aparicio-Chamberlain, Sandra Romero, Rich Raya, Erik Petri, Alexander Suriano, Maria Luisa Isenberg, and Karen Walker-Chamberlin, among others.
One notable exhibition takes place on and around the Mexican tradition of Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, in late October, early November. This tradition has an emphasis on celebrating and honoring the lives of the deceased, and celebrating the continuation of life; the belief is not that death is the end, but rather the beginning of a new stage in life. Many paintings, sculptures, alters and interactive displays are exhibited with this theme in mind.
