Issued in conjunction with a series of 1977 exhibitions that represent "a discovery of that which is completely new, but which has been present all along. The Hispanic presence in the United States, is growing at a significant rate. As it grows, it supports a cultural and artistic renaissance and heritage which predates the existence of the United States by over two hundred years. It is significant that less than one hundred years ago, Tucson was a part of Mexico. This exhibit ... illustrated the deep concern of the participating artists with the dynamics of their past and present cultures."
