Poem of the Week

Recess 

Jesus O., Grade 5

Cesar Chavez Learning Center 

I was barely coming outside 

When everyone started running all around

 Then I realized

We were out in the playground

I ran to the ring of soccer

Then they gave us a ball

Everyone ran toward it

I almost started to fall

They passed me the ball

I started to run

Everyone said it

Was supposed to be fun

I ran and I ran

Then I shook every player

I was running

In just one layer

I couldn’t get enough

I was having so much fun

That was good stuff

Poem of the Week

Death

By Jesus, Grade 5

Cesar Chavez Learing Center

Everyone is going to die

Sometimes close, sometimes far

So we should worship our lives

And not waste it in a bar

Some people don’t want to understand

The cause of our life

Some do and they get married with a lovely wife

Some don’t understand

And they leave it up to fate

So what I am saying is

Enjoy life before it is too late.

Art Exhibit Benefits America SCORES Dallas

Atlas. Ashely Collins. 2010.

Last Thursday, Stay Za Za Art House and Social Gallery, Hotel Za Za’s newest addition, hosted Ashley Collins’ opening of “Twelve O’Clock” as its inaugural exhibit. The series was curated by Turner Carroll Gallery, an international contemporary art gallery located in Sante Fe, and turned the sparse space of Stay Za Za into an intimate encounter with Collins’ work.  Collins is a renowned artist who incorporates various media, such as resin, pages from old books, and oil, with ephemeral horse imagery on large wood panels.  She also has a strong sense of philanthropy and in each community she shows her work, she chooses a worthy cause to be the recipient of 10 percent of her proceeds.  For her show in Dallas, Collins chose America SCORES Dallas.  Thank you Ashley Collins!

“Twelve O’Clock” will be on display at Stay Za Za Art House and Social Gallery until March 26th. To see more of her work visit her website.
