JOIN US FOR THE 4TH ANNUAL VOLVER FUNDRAISING EVENT
SUNDAY, APRIL 27, 2025 FROM 5 TO 7 P.M.
AT THE MASK ALIVE ART COLLECTION GALLERY - Arizona Center
455 N 3rd St, Suite #1045 Phoenix, AZ 85004

Our annual VOLVER fundraiser is an intimate gathering of like-minded individuals, supporters, and philanthropists dedicated to creating a thriving arts community that uplifts local artists, prioritizes free and accessible engagement opportunities, and celebrates cultural diversity.

This year’s event will take place on Sunday, April 27, 2025 - Following Earth Day. There will be interactive art experiences, live music, and local indigenous foods. Unlike any other fundraiser event you’ve been to, Cultural Coalition has designed VOLVER as a smaller version of its colorful, vibrant, and community focused festivals, where guests are just as much a part of the event as the artists, curanderas, musicians, art, and food.

Interactive Art Experiences at Volver include a communal welcome ceremony by Cultural Coalition Board Member and Maestra Curandera Patricia Federico, a multi-sensory native plant engagement with the Kitchen Curandera Felicia Cocotzin Ruiz, and the option to participate in the event culmination Terra Dance, guided by Dr. Pegge Vissicaro.

"Come Back to Your Senses. Experience a curandera’s sensory table created to engage with earth, water, fire, air, and spirit. Interact with the elements—taking a moment for reflection, relaxation, and grounding." - Felicia Cocotzin Ruiz

"To dance is to know and honor the Earth. In this embodied experience, drum rhythms inspire moving to connect with our body-mind, each other, and the environment. Sound and movement evoke memory of place and belonging, inviting us to return to our Earth community. Collective participation culminates in an interwoven motional tapestry of wellbeing for positive change." - Dr. Pegge Vissicaro.

More details about Interactive Art Experiences coming soon....
