Taco Friday: CAM Kickoff
Yes that's right! We're kicking off Contemporary Art Month with a special edition of Taco Friday! Celebrate with us and our Taco Truck-in-Residence, which pulls up to the courtyard at noon and takes lunch orders until 2pm. Cash only.
We will also have 10-minute Tours of our exhibitions at 12:30 & 1pm, and a super fun taco-making creative project with local artist Kimberly Aubuchon. And music! We will have awesome music, featuring DJ Steven Lee Moya.
And maybe… just maybe… if we’re lucky, the newly crowned Miss CAM Antonio will grace us with her royal presence at Taco Friday, beginning his or her reign with all the beauty and tacos befitting a true queen.
