Marin is best known for his acting roles, but is also a director, writer, musician, humanitarian and art collector. As an art collector, Marin has amassed one of the world's largest private collections of Chicano paintings and artwork in the country. Recently, paintings from his collection has traveled in various exhibitions throughout the country on a national tour through major cities and museums, including the Smithsonian Institution. Papel Chicano, curated by Patty Haberman, MCA Curator, includes pastels, ink drawings, acrylics, and oils on paper. Some of these works have never before been exhibited in Arizona. Bold and intense imagery rich in color has long been a trademark of artwork created to express the Chicano experience. Papel Chicano includes nearly 40 works -- many never before publicly displayed -- by 19 established artists: Gaspar Enriquez, Diane Gamboa, Margaret Garcia, Raul Guerrero, Roberto Gutierrez, Wayne Alaniz Healy, Adan Hernandez, Leo Limon, Jose Lozano, Chuy Martin, Cesar Martinez, Alex Rubio, Frank Romero, Eloy Torrez, John Valadez, Patssi Valdez, Vincent Valdez, and George Yepes. Opening Reception: On September 14, Mesa Contemporary Arts will hold a free reception for the three new Fall exhibits from 7:00pm-10:00pm, heavy hors d'oeuvres, musical entertainment, and a cash bar will be offered.
