There is no formal executive committee.
People come at the beginning of the season to the initial meeting and different tasks are assigned to informal adhoc committees.(publications, signs, venues contact and assignments,students programs, etc.......)
As for Mexican artists, I have worked in the past on committees with Abel, Pino (jeweller),Anaxaxi, Efren and Rodrigo. Involved in some part of Art walk or other.
I asked Larry Field for his opinion.
"Charley, people keep talking about a committee, but in fact there is not a committee until now. We are currently developing guidelines for Art Walk so that there is a consistency to what we do.

The committee at present has no Mexicans on it. I believe you are referring to Mexicans who have come to big group meetings, and there has been some. The problem is that there are few Mexican artists in town. Understandably, Mexicans are not used to structures, like meetings and stuff, that we are. Plus there is a language problem. We would love to have a Mexican on the committee. Just have to find one."

If you were willing to participate in any of the meetings you would be more than welcome and you would find out more from the organizing core group.
