Anyone who has attended one of Ron Chavez’s poetry readings knows he puts the macho back in poetry.

If you’re looking to settle in for a long winter’s night with your sweetheart, these words of love set to beautiful music will set the mood. Look out, Rumi, your thousand years as the top love poet may be coming to an end.

Come in out of the cold for a cup of cheer, live music and friendly conversation. Love poems will play during the event, and Ron will happily sign CDs. Multi-talented artist Jon Whitaker will play guitar and unveil his new works, and Elizabeth Jose will perform a song or two from her popular Alley Cantina Jazz set while showing her latest paintings.



Along with Santiago Chavez’s fine art palette knife works, the friendly little gallery offers a unique combination of art and literature featuring guest artists and Ron’s writing. Santiago’s expanded collection of original guest artists includes locals Norlene Gregory (oil) and Elizabeth Jose (oil); as well as Texas painters Jon Whitaker (acrylic), Keith Sanders (watercolor) and Marianne Vieregg (pastel). Explore the fine art originals and a collection of Americana art cards, fine art prints, poetry and short story chapbooks. This promises to be one of the most interesting and diverse gatherings of the winter season with something for everyone.


And a if luck is with us, Ron Chavez’s new full-length book “Time of Triumph” may be ready for purchase.
