Two elderly women and a young man display a burgundy and white crocheted blanket. ‚ÄúBarrio Art for Ethnic Groups is the name of the course in the CSUS [California State University Sacramento] catalogue. In 1970 the initial ‚Äúseed money‚Äù to purchase art supplies for the classes in the Barrio came from Teichart Construction Company. The Teichart family is well known in the Sacramento area for supporting community programs. They embraced Montoya‚Äôs vision of the program and donated $800.00 for art material for him to get started area. As a newly hired staff member Montoya was not aware of CSUS funding sources. But in due time after the initial donation he applied to ASI (Associated Student, Inc.) and eventually turned to IRA (Instructionally Related Material) for funding and it still continues to fund the Barrio Art Program.‚Äù
