The Ventura College Spring 2008 Arts and Lecture Series continues with a lecture with George Yepes, Cultural Artist on April 17 at 7:00 p.m. in the Second Floor Reading Room of the Library and Learning Resource Center on the Ventura College (Ventura, CA) campus.
The event is free, parking is $1 and refreshments will be served. For additional information, call the Public Relations Office, Ventura College, (805) 654-6462.
George Yepes was born in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. He moved to East Los Angeles at the age of four. He earned a degree from California State University, Los Angeles, in business administration, and joined the Public Art Center, leaving behind his hard street life and gang membership. He also took painting classes at East Los Angeles City College and worked both as an accountant and a muralist.
One of the more prolific painters in the Chicano Mural Movement of the late 70's, Yepes gained his early reputation as a ferocious painter when he painted with notables from Carlos Almaraz and Frank Romero to Gilbert "Magu" Lujan. He then became an instrumental partner in the mural group East Los Streetscapers from 1979 to 1985 until he decided that group painting wasn't suited to his temperament or pace. With grand scale and furious momentum Yepes has painted over 800,000 square feet of eloquent social, historical, and sacred images onto the facades of everything from churches, hospitals and freeway overpasses to album covers. His 28 murals are landmarks in Los Angeles, as are the 21 murals his Academia de Arte Yepes students have painted. Yepes established the Academia de Arte Yepes, the first free mural academy for young students in Los Angeles. Yepes has taught nearly 1500 low-income students over the last decade through the Academia. His mural painting concepts and designs continue to be studied by graduate students and scholars across the United States.

“Talitha-chan is so smart. We found that
super-neat saxophone video yesterday and now she found Tom Scott’s Web Site and it’s got the Starsky and Hutch theme right on the main page. He wrote that! “
“Wow, look, he was nominated for 13 Grammy awards.”
“And won three of them. Sweet. I’d be happy with one.”
“We should put his site in our Fun Places to Visit list.”
“I’m gonna learn how to play just like him so I can win a zillion Grammys too, and I’m gonna write TV show music also.”
“Shannon-sama! Shannon-sama! Looky what Talitha-chan found! Hurry! Looky! It’s another video alert just like Gamepowa got!”
“Okay, okay, what did Hayashi find?”
“We were looking for music videos and found some pretty good ones.”
“Nice combo. That’s Tom Scott on tenor isn’t it?”
“Yeah! I got the CD with that same chart on it! I like how he uses the A-flat and B-flat keys to get those muted notes. I wish I could get those on tenor too. I can play them on alto, though. Did you see? The drummer has a drumset just like Leila-sama’s!”
“Jessica says Tom Scott wrote a television theme song.”
“Yeah?”
“He wrote the theme from Starsky and Hutch! It’s on one of his albums, and it’s on his ‘Best Of’ album too with Rock Island Rocket.”
“Wow, you’re really a big jazz fan, huh?”
“Jazz is the best, and I’m gonna learn all of Tom Scott’s solos ’cause they’re the best too.”
