Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - On Saturday, March 15, Biblioteca Los Mangos will open its doors at 7:30 pm to fill the night with light, art, movement, color, and intense, creative energy, as they celebrate the second edition of "Emergente" - an exposition of alternative art - art as you may have never seen it before in this city.

Los Mangos Library is known for promoting culture and art in all of its forms, and this is a unique opportunity to appreciate the work of a new generation of artists from different academic backgrounds and creative practices who are rising stars on the cultural scene.

Coordinated by artist Gabriela Munguía and Los Mangos Library Director Adriana García, the Emergente project came to life in 2013 in response to the need for a place where artists could meet, connect, and exchange ideas for mutual enrichment.

In its first edition, response was extraordinary, so on March 15, 2014 the library's walls, patio, and green areas will once again intervene artistically as these up-and-coming artists express themselves through paintings, art prints, sculptures, photography, short films, and digital mapping.

Emergente is a global art show of this generation's highly connected creators who have started to participate in international exchanges and contests with excellent results. Among them, Víctor Orozco stands out. An artist from Jalisco, Víctor has won many awards, including the "Best Short Film" at the Slam Zeise Kinos in Hamburg and Germany's "First Steps" prize in 2013.

In the second edition of Emergente, Orozco will be joined by "La Raya" Graphic Arts Workshop and "Megáfono" Editorial, among others. Music-wise, Antonio de los Ríos will musicalize poems by local writer Raúl Gibrán, and Phonofilia, AgaveZzounds and Diego Cont will give performances.

This special exhibition is a party for the senses, an opportunity to meet people and art that proposes, touches, affects, and widens our vision. Join us at Los Mangos Library for the second edition of "Emergente." Doors open at 7:30 pm and entrance is FREE.
