75-100 Students at Chicano Park Kiosco as part of Young at Art program, directed by Salvador and Gloria Torres. Approximately 4000 students from 35 San Diego schools (colleges and universities excluded) participated in tours of Chicano Park, murals, play equipment, tours of the Torres' home/gallery/workshop, puppetry, ceramics, mold painting, portable paper murals, lectures on murals and gallery works, lunch, cactus garden etc. "This program was developed by Salvador and Gloria Torres to bring students to Chicano Park to teach them about the history of the murals, and their symbolism. The meaning of our cactus garden. The raising of the flag of Aztlan. A visit to our studio home/gallery/workshop to show students how we as artists live. The program assisted in changing the image "stereotyped as a 'bad place'". Teach students about monumental mural art." Salvador Torres
