FEATURED CHAC ARTIST
JERRY RAEL
Jerry Rael’s work is invaded by visions of his ancestors. The canvases evoke the Great Spirit that seeps in the form of the universe behind the shapes and colorful figures as they sprout from the Earth. His paintings are reflections of stories his elders told him as a young boy about the oldest towns in Colorado.

CHAC Artist Bob Luna

It is with great sadness that we must announce the passing of Bob Luna, a wonderful person, artist and teacher. He will be greatly missed. Bob Luna impacted countless lives and mentored many Denver youth, encouraging them to search for the artist within. He looked at his students with tremendous value and instilled in them a sense of pride in who they are.  La Alma Jaguar Club was one of the many places in the community where Bob Luna taught his art. We love you Bob and the Jaguars will never forget you!
