Sandra Santa Cruz, Novella Project director, and her students have conducted research in San Luis and its surrounding villages over the past three years to learn first-hand about the community's "living history." Mary Hoffman, executive director of Community Partnerships, offered the newly remodeled gallery space as a way of highlighting the research.
