Are you coming to the Guadalajara book fair this year? Are you interested in a hassle-free break at the beach after all the madness is over? The ChacaLit committee has designed the perfect package so that publishing industry professionals can come to Chacala and stay in calm, beautiful surroundings for a great price and have time to let their experience at the FIL sink in and perhaps deepen the acquaintances they have made during their time in Guadalajara.

Chacala Artist Residency

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Playa Chacala is a magical place. It naturally draws visitors to its shore, enveloping their spirits in an energy that can only be produced by the sea.  The Chacala Cultural Foundation was started to give an overall structure to the artistic events happening in this village including a music festival, artists and writers residencies, a mariachi institute and other events. The local Chacala community, as well as part-time and full-time folks who care very much about the people and this beautiful area, combine to produce the various events.

The Chacala Mariachi Institute provides music teachers and college music education majors the training and materials necessary to become successful mariachi educators. The curriculum is comprised of mariachi history, master classes on all of the traditional mariachi instruments, full-ensemble rehearsal, and an exploration of mariachi repertoire tailored for educational settings. The innovative structure of the Chacala Mariachi Institute provides participants both the hands-on experience performing mariachi music and the conceptual knowledge needed to teach mariachi at the highest level in American and Mexican schools.

A new culinary arts program was launched July 16-19 in Evergreen, Colorado, with whom a new "sisterhood" relationship has been established. A Mexican cooking class was held featuring Alondra Maldonado, an award winning teacher and author of "The Taste of Nayarit". Alondra had also attended the 2016 Literary Festival, featuring her award-winning cookbook.  A follow-on event with Alondra and other culinary events are being scheduled for Fall of 2017 in Chacala. Kim Van Eeckhout has been chairing this effort.  For more information, contact Kim at kimv9358@gmail.com.
