The National Association of Latino Arts and Culture held their 2010 conference in San Jose this week and also celebrated their 20th anniversary.  This is the first time NALAC has held a conference on the West Coast.  NALAC's visit to the city of San Jose included a visit to BAGI and watch Jaime Guerrero demo the creation of "La Llorona". (Latino version of the "boogie man")  Those in attendance were thrilled to witness a glassblowing demonstration like nothing they have seen before!
