Lizbeth Ortiz is determined to keep Frida Kahlo's footprint deep in the local art community with her free Frida Festival, which is celebrating its 18th year on April 29 at MECA. Embroidered blouses, flower headdresses and bushy unibrows are encouraged.
The festival also engages emerging artists and students to create artwork influenced by Kahlo. This year, 6-year-old Isabella Arias Perea was the youngest artist to participate. Her piece sold for $350 to a collector in Florida, Ortiz said.
"Life is raw," Ortiz said."Sometimes life throws you things you don't want to look at, but you have a choice to look at it or look away." For the Frida Festival fashion show, he created a 10-piece capsule collection inspired by Kahlo's artwork.
