If you are Texas-born, or the newest
arrival, you should know that once
each year a tidal wave of history surges
across the state. It's called the Folklife
Festival, and it has been happening at
The University of Texas Institute of
Texan Cultures at San Antonio for the
past 12 years.
We're glad that you've come to
share this Festival with us. There's
nothing quite like it anywhere.
The Festival is fun. But a lot of fun
went into the making of Texas. It spills
over and floods The Institute with
songs, dances, food and fellowship.
Most of all, it brings to life the cultures,
folkways and histories of the 30 major
ethnic groups which settled, developed
and still make Texas. No wonder
George Sessions Perry called it "a world
in itself:'
But an Institute of Texan Cultures?
"Culture" in Texas-the place that TV
Westerns depict as the land of the
cowboy and Indian, the tinhorn gam­bler
and the oil baron? And a Festival
where one can "howdy" a sheep shearer,
a goose plucker, a pickle maker, a quilt­er,
a kite maker and a basket weaver?
All of this, and much more, is the
culture of Texas. For the four days of
the Folklife Festival, 6,000 participants
from almost 200 communities gather to
prove just one thing: That no matter
how different our ancestry, we are all
Texans, with a common bond to our
past and a common stake in our future.
Indeed, this is what The Institute
of Texan Cultures says to the half
million people who visit our 50,000
Welcome
square feet of exhibits each year. Texas
is one of the most diverse of the 50
states, ethnically and culturally. But
sometimes even Texans find it difficult
to remember that San Antonio was a
thriving community 45 years before the
American Revolution. Or that the first
Polish settlement in the U.S. was in
Texas. Or that in the Bosque River
valley of central Texas, Norwegian is
still spoken.
The stories of these, and the other
major ethnic groups which settled
Texas, are in The Institute's exhibits.
But The Institute is more than a
museum; it is a microcosm of the ethnic
diversity that is Texas. The Institute of
Texan Cultures is an educational insti­tution
that is unique. It grants no
degrees, has no faculty and offers no
regular classes. It is, however, a research
facility, a publishing house and an insti­tution
whose educational outreach
spr.eads all across Texas.
Since it was opened in 1968, this
component of The University of Texas
System has published 41 books, pro­duced
dozens of audiovisuals, prepared
a variety of teaching materials and
reached an estimated 100,000 public
school students annually. The Institute
also circulates more than three dozen
traveling exhibits and offers a "traveling
trunk" program in which it sends out
to schools touchable Texas gear such as
wooden puppets, buffalo hides and
Indian artifacts.
Its mission is to make history come
alive. Visitors can sit on the vast floor
of the Dome Theater and watch a mul-
• • •
timedia show on the faces and places
of Texas. Or they can watch tortillas
made from raw corn in the Mexican
area. Or they can learn to quilt, hear
a lecture on ranch life delivered at a real
chuck wagon or participate in a dozen
other similar demonstrations of life in
Texas as it was, and is.
Much of the work of The Institute
is performed by dedicated volunteers.
This year nearly 350 of them contri­buted
more than 40,000 hours to doing
everything from teaching folk songs to
conducting a Jewish sabbath service.
"Culture;' says Dr. John L. Davis,
director of the Division of Program
Planning, "is the trappings of man. And
for man to become truly man, he must
know-really know-his culture:'
Helping Texans remember, revive
and revitalize their own heritage is
what The Institute of Texan Cultures
and its Folklife Festival are all about.

TRAVELING TEXAS
FESTIVAL
Texas is a travel bufFs paradise. It has highways, back roads and wide open
spaces; mountains, prairies, beaches and forests. There are heroes, villains and
lots of just plain good folks; Germans, Hungarians, Mexicans and Poles. It offers
history, romance, mystery and charm; art shows, rodeos and fiestas in the park.
Even dedicated travelers, who devote years of weekend jaunts and two-week
vacations journeying to every corner of the state in search of the total Texas
experience, are hard pressed to take in everything worth seeing. But there is
one tour of Texas that can be accomplished in a day, and you don't need a
plane, a train, a car or even a covered wagon. All you need is a ticket to the
Texas Folklife Festival, a comfortable pair of walking shoes, and a desire to
discover as many of Texas's sights, -sounds and flavors as possible.
Once you have all that together and have breezed through one of the
Festival's four gates, all you have to do is decide whether to turn right or left,
then just start walking. These photos give glimpses of the experiences which
await you as you trek across Texas-Festival style. The colored borders corre­spond
to the sections described in the coded map and legend on pages 24 and
25, to which you can refer for a detailed listing of activities in each area. For
information concerning times and locations of stage performances, see the
Entertainment Schedule on pages 26-33.

Folklife, Communities
and Festivals
by Jim McNutt
When Ervin Boudreaux finished high
school in Nederland a few years before
World War II, he was still under 18, too
young to work in the local oil refineries.
So he worked around in grocery stores and
gas stations until his birthday, and even
then his parents had to sign a release
before a company could hire him. He went
into the shipping department at Texaco,
where his father was a gang-pusher, or
group leader. In spite of his small size,
under the weight limit, he learned to
handle heavy cases of motor oil and the
awkward 55-gallon barrels.
Growing up in Port Arthur and
Nederland, Ervin learned how to cook
Cajun gumbo from his father, who had
begun working in his family's kitchen at
an early age. Starting with boiling water,
Ervin would mix in the raux, or gravy base,
stirring it in until it was completely dis­solved.
Then he would add onions, green
peppers, salt and other ingredients, saving
the shrimp or chicken or other meat for
last and bringing the whole steaming pot
to just the right point for ladling over a
bowl of rice.
Ervin also learned about making bou­dain
and baking bread from his father.
Among Cajun families men doing the
cooking is a common thing, and it contin­ues
today.
When World War II began Ervin made
his way to Ft. Sam Houston in San
Antonio, where someone found out that
he knew about pots and pans and sent
him to the army's cook and bake school.
He stayed at Ft. Sam as a cook for the
duration of the war. Once a month or so
he would slip a few Cajun dishes into the
menu for the sake of the boys coming over
from Louisiana. After the war, when he
returned to work in the refinery at Port
Arthur, the old Cajun recipes stayed with
him, and his gumbo became a special item
for neighborhood get-togethers.
Ervin Boudreaux doesn't look or act
like a pirogue-poling; alligator wrestler
8
from a Cajun comic strip. He lives in 1984,
among friends and neighbors with Cajun
roots, and he knows something about oil
refineries as well as shrimp gumbo.
Juan Martinez learned to thatch roofs
while growing up on his family's ranch
near Dolores in Zapata County. At that
time most of the buildings in Dolores were
either sandstone structures, made of soft
Ervin Boudreaux at the Cajun booth.
Juan Martinez demonstrates roof ~hatching.
stone cut from the banks of the Rio
Grande, or mesquite jacals. The thatching
process was a job for more than one per­son.
So people came together and joined
in, sharing the jobs of bundling the grass,
setting the frame on the building, and
layering and tying the bundles in. Roofs
of sacahuiste or sacaton, a grass found only
near south Texas creeks, could last 20 or
even 30 years in the dry climate.
Today Juan Martinez owns the Marti­nez
Cattle Company, buying, selling and
hauling cattle, holding roundups for other
ranchers and overseeing land-clearing
operations to increase pasturage. The 35
acres it takes to support a single cow in
the brush country of south Texas can be
reduced to 10 acres by clearing. Men oper­ating
bulldozers in tandem do the work,
dragging l-beams or heavy chains made of
links weighing 60 pounds each to flatten
everything growing, then dragging out the
roots and stacking the brush with front­loaders.
After all the brush is cleared, the
land is turned with a disc harrow.
Even though Juan's skills as a roof
thatcher are no longer in demand as they
used to be, he maintains them as an active
part of his life and heritage. So, like Ervin
Boudreaux, Juan Martinez knows some­thing
both of traditional ways and the
industrial world.
Not many people would describe
these two men as "folk" in the old sense,
meaning quaint, isolated people who
adhere to forgotten or dying ways of life.
They both live in cities, work around com­plex
machines, travel out of their local
communities and experience the same
array of mass communications as do other
people in modern America.
On the other hand, Boudreaux and
Martinez carry on long-standing traditions
within their families and local communi­ties-
traditions they learned personally
from close relatives and friends; traditions
that are valuable to the people around
them. While these two men may not be
"folk" in the old sense, they do exhibit a
great deal of folklife. To turn things around
a bit, folklife is people communicating
traditions in the small groups to which
they belong. And, though they come from
completely different backgrounds, Juan
Martinez and Ervin Boudreaux are both
communicators of folklife traditions.
Like most of the rest of us, Juan and
Ervin live through folklife a good part of
the time. In doing so they establish and
preserve identities for themselves and their
communities. Communicating traditions
in small groups is a very human process
that extends across all people and places,
varying from one group to another, from
one place to the next, changing, develop­ing,
dying out, growing up again. So Bou­dreaux
and Martinez have for company,
say, a knot of children jumping rope and
chanting rhymes in a Houston street, the
leader of a gospel group lining out a hymn
for the singers in a Dallas church, or
Italians playing bocce on Sunday after­noons
in Montague.
What makes these various things folk­life
is not just what they are, but how they
occur. Nowadays anyone so inclined can
learn how to play bocce from a book (or
computer screen), pretty much out of
touch with any other person. As the world
goes, the learning is good, but it's not
folklife. Folklife is in the doing, the person­to-
person "show me:' "well, it's this way"
communication of traditions in local com­munities,
among the people who make up
the community.
The traditions which contribute to
the folklife of a particular community
depend on the people themselves, their
backgrounds and all the other things that ·
affect their sense of belonging to a group.
Quite often the kinds of traditions that
appear in a particular community can also
be found in many other places. Obviously,
jump rope games and storytelling occur in
plenty of places, among different ethnic
groups, in different languages. But the
exciting and dynamic aspect is that each
group in each place handles their tradi­tional
song or story or craft in a way unlike
any other.
Festival visitors learn to play the traditional Italian game of bocce.
Consider roof thatching again. Learn­ing
the method directly from someone in
the community, using materials common
to the region and knowing what people in
the area expect of the roof that results
make the thatchwork of Juan Martinez a
folklife tradition. This is true even though
thatching itself is an ancient practice with
many variations, found in many places
around the world. Similarly, bocce, a
traditional Italian game, has variations
peculiar to the descendants of immigrants
who brought the game to Montague
County in the 1880's. In the Old World
bocce games took place on flat, hard­packed
sand courts with curved barriers
at either end, but members of the Fenoglio
family in Montague know of occasions
when a country road served as the court.
Now, putting folklife in a festival or
having a festival about folklife is an idea
that has been around a long while in
Texas-40 years, at least. Folklife festivals
are, in fact, pretty standard occurrences by
now. Still, they take a great deal of work,
cooperation and sheer determination to
put together. The outcome depends largely
on the assumption that folklife traditions
of particular communities around the state
can be picked up and moved to a central
location for people to observe and experi­ence.
But no matter how much effort goes
into the event, a folklife festival can pre­sent
only a little of the folklife of a great
many people. It opens the door, just a
crack, to the communication of traditions
among people who normally might not
think of inviting the world into their lives.
The Texas Folklife Festival draws vastly
different people and traditions from across
the state to create an occasion for shared
experience. Ultimately, what is learned
from this experience is up to the visitors
and participants themselves. But by seeing
examples of various traditions in festivals
such as this one, perhaps people will begin
to recognize and appreciate the kinds of
folklife around them all the time. After all,
knowing how to make gumbo or thatch
a roof are things that just might come in
handy some day.

Built in Texas:
Life on the ''Back 40''
How many times have you walked
through an old house and wondered what
it must have been like to live there? Who
were the people who called it their home?
What did they do? Were their lives full of
joy and happiness or hardship and sorrow?
How were they different from us, or were
they different at all?
Just like books, photographs, letters,
diaries and other keepsakes and posses­sions,
buildings are artifacts from the past
with stories of their own about the people
who built and used them. In a sense,
buildings are extensions of people and
reflections of their culture, traditions and
geographic surroundings. Consequently,
we can discover a great deal about our
forefathers and their life-styles through the
buildings they constructed.
At The Institute of Texan Cultures we
take the idea that a building has a tale to
tell one step further-we bring the story
to life. Scattered throughout the "Back 40"
are exhibits depicting some of the build­ings
and other structures around which
the daily routine of many early Texans was
centered. During the Folklife Festival these
areas come alive with the sights, sounds
and spirit of Texas's past.
Frontier Fort Headquarters:
When the Civil War ended in 1865
and the United States Army returned to
Texas they found much of the land and
power which had been gained since the
Texas Revolution were again lost to the
Indians. To aid in reclaiming and defend­ing
this territory, they refurbished several
abandoned forts in the west and north­west
regions of the state. Garrisoned by
troops such as the famed "Buffalo Soldiers"
of the lOth Cavalry, "Mackenzie's Raiders"
of the 4th Cavalry and a handful of other
regiments, these forts became familiar and
12
comforting sites for the farmers and ranch­ers
in the area.
The frontier fort headquarters exhibit
is not an exact replica of a particular fort.
It is, however, a representative example of
military outposts in Texas between 1865
and 1875. Adapted from actual 19th cen­tury
plans of a post commander's office
and the living quarters of a junior officer,
the two-room stone building is designed
to provide a glimpse of what life was like
for the soldiers and their families who
braved hardship and danger to protect the
Texas settlers.
A visit to the fort headquarters is like
stepping through a portal into another
world. Members of the 4th U.S. Memorial
Cavalry Regiment, the Fort Concho Infan­try
and the 7th Texas Mounted Volunteers
CSA, along with volunteer demonstrators
from the United Services Automobile
Association (USAA), create a scene close­ly
resembling the daily routine on a fron­tier
outpost.
Inside the headquarters building offi­cers
review past campaigns against the
Indians and map out the strategy for their
next expedition. For the enlisted men the
day begins when they don their ill-fitting,
uncomfortable wool uniforms and report
for reveille and the first of three roll calls.
Then there are drills, mounting of the
guard and general chores to perform
the evening dress parade and taps. T he
men all agree that the food is poor, the
housing marginal, the work hard and thf
days long.
Fort laundresses, some civilians anc
some wives of post soldiers, go about the
strenuous task of hauling water from the
river and washing the heavy uniforms. Ir
the sparsely furnished officer's quarters ;
young wife sits by the window patient!·
mending a torn garment. For most of th
inhabitants, life in the frontier fort i
tedious and boring. But there is time fo
a few of the simple pleasures: a game c
poker or blackjack, a picnic on the lawr
a group of friends gathered on the porch
for an evening of music and conversation,
and a chance to spruce up a bit and head
for the weekly dance or an occasional
wedding celebration.
The One· Room Schoolhouse:
Outside the weathered building the
schoolmarm rings the bell, calling to the
children to line up and march inside. They
take their places at the well-worn, wooden
desks-girls on one side of the room, boys
on the other; younger ones in front, older
ones near the back. When all are seated
the teacher says, "Good morning, class:'
"Good morning, Miss Smith;' they
respond in unison.
Miss Smith directs the class to take
out their McGuffey's readers and open
them to page 25. "Sally;' she says, "please
begin:' Sally stands and reads aloud from
the passage entitled, "Perseverance:'
When the reading lesson is over Miss
Smith turns to a section in her Wentworth's
Mental Arithmetic and poses this problem,
·~ farmer gave 7 apples to John and 13
to Helen; how many more has Helen than
John?" Several children raise their hands.
She points to a young boy in the center
of the room and asks, "Tom, do you know
the answer?"
Tom jumps up and replies, "Yes, ma'am!
Helen has 6 more apples than John:'
After lunch outside under the shade
trees and a short recess, it's back indoors
for more lessons. The children take slates
and slate pencils from their desks for the
daily penmenship exercise. They draw
push-pulls and circles and copy phrases,
such as "Honor thy parents;' from the
blackboard. Then, to end the day, Miss
Smith divides the class into two teams for
the spelling bee.
Scenes such as this were daily occur­rences
in one-room schoolhouses across
the Texas frontier. The schoolhouse on the
"Back 40" is modeled after those which
were common in the high plains region of
the state. While it's difficult to reenact a
typical school day during the Festival, with
the help of Gerry Doyle of Beaumont and
Beverley Bruff of San Antonio the setting
takes on a realistic air.
Chirography, the technical term for
handwriting, is Gerry Doyle's speciality,
and in his role as schoolmaster he teaches
Festival visitors how to improve their pen­manship.
Using slates, slate pencils and
quill pens, his "students" learn the tech­niques
of good handwriting in much the
same way pioneer children were taught.
Reading aloud was one way used by
frontier teachers to improve elocution and
expression; another was acting out plays
and improvisations. Beverley Bruff, who
represents the Speech Arts Association,
serves as director of the Festival's impromp­tu
schoolhouse productions. She casts the
different roles-usually including a hero,
heroine and villain-hands out the scripts,
and the drama ensues.
The Barn and Windmill:
For most of the 19th and early 20th
centuries industry in Texas was constituted
almost entirely of farming and ranching.
Structures necessary to farm production
were second only to housing in impor­tance
to the settlers. The crib or barn
usually was built first in order to protect
the harvest. Little by little the barn was
expanded into a facility with many func­tions.
It served as shelter for livestock;
storage for corn and fodder; and protec­tion
for valuable tools such as the wagon
and plough. As the farmer prospered and
time and resources permitted, special pur­pose
buildings, such as cellars and smoke­houses,
were added to the complex.
Another structure which held great
significance to farmers and ranchers, espe­cially
in areas of the state where surface
water is scarce, was the windmill. Used for
everything from pumping water to churn­ing
butter to shelling and grinding corn,
wind power was the mode of the day. By
the turn of the century many of the
smaller ranches in Texas had from 100 to
350 mills pumping continuously. At one
time the famous XIT Ranch near Chan­ning
had more than 500 in operation.
The barn and windmill are two of the
most enduring and easily recognizable
symbols of our agricultural roots. Even
today their rusty tin roofs and bright
spinning blades are familiar landmarks in
rural areas throughout the state. As the
most recent additions to the "Back 40;' the
barn and windmill exhibits provide the
perfect backdrop for a portrayal of farm
and ranch life in Texas.
At one end of the barn, which resem­bles
structures built and still used by many
farmers in the Texas Hill Country, are
Arnold Griffin and Bruce Roark of Devine
13
with their display of antique tools and
tales about the joys and hardships of life
on the farm. Reminiscent of old-fashioned
barn-raising festivities is the nearly
constant flow of hand-clapping, foot­stomping
tunes, performed by The Insti­tute's
own Jim Fox and his musical friends,
emanating from the other side of the barn.
Nearby is OI Baker of Austin at the
smokehouse busy explaining and demon­strating
methods of preservation used by
frontier families to ensure a supply of food
during the nonproducing parts of the year.
And of course, the steady whir of the
wooden windmill-an original Eclipse
model from the 1880's-adds to the feeling
of being "back on the farm:'
On-Going Programs:
The Festival isn't the only time the
"Back 40" buildings come to life. Through-out
the school year costumed historical
interpreters staff the exhibits as part of
The Institute's on-going educational pro­grams.
Schoolchildren from all over the
state tour the area and take a journey back
in time to find out what their lives would
have been like as pioneer children. The
program not only shows them how the
environment of early Texans was different
from the world they know, it also helps
them gain an appreciation for one thing
that never changes.
From one generation to the next, our
desire to know about the people who came
before remains constant and strong. Years
from now as people wander through an
old 20th century house made of brick,
concrete and steel with an electronic dish­washer
in the kitchen, remote control tele­vision
in the family room and personal
computer in the study, they too will search

of the Southwest at our

for answers to the same questions we ask
ourselves today.
Who were the people who called this
place home? What did they do? Was their
life full of joy and happiness or hardship
and sorrow? How were they different, or
were they different at all?
The "Back 40" exhibits have been made
possible through the generosity and efforts of
several individuals and corporations: O.T
Baker, John Davis, Arnold Griffin, Bruce
Roark and Matt Garcia assisted in construc­tion
of the schoolhouse; United Services
Automobile Association (USAA) provided
funding for both the frontier fort and the bam;
Ray Ellison and Nash Phillips/Copus (NPC)
contributed the labor for the building of the
frontier fort and bam, respectively. We are
grateful for their continued interest in and sup­port
of The Institute's programs and activities.

A Gift frolll Jose Vives--Atsara
Sometimes, even now, I sit in front of an empty canvas
for one hour, unable to start.
I want so much to see on that canvas what I feel that I
am afraid to begin.
But I must break my inactivity and get past my moment
of indecision.
When I do, then I can go wild!
-Jose Vives-Atsara
from the book, Jose Vives-Atsara:
His Life and His Art
by Nancy Glass West
As I read this quote I recall the many
times I've found myself sitting in front of,
not an empty canvas, but a blank comput­er
screen with so much to say I don't know
·. where or how to begin. In fact, this is one
of those times. My task is to write an
article describing Jose Vives-Atsara and
how he came to be the creator of this year's
Folklife Festival commemorative poster.
On the surface the project seems simple
enough, but Mr. Vives-Atsara is not at all
easy to characterize.
My first impressions of him were as a
quiet, charming gentleman, very talented
and very sincere. But nothing about him
even hinted that he has lead a life so
compelling and touching it could easily be
mistaken for a best-selling historical novel.
Set in picturesque Catalonia, Spain,
his story began when he was a promising
young talent who started painting at the
age of 11. With the help of a priest who
recognized his abilities and encouraged
him to pursue them, Jose was able to con­vince
his father that his choice of art over
a career in the family business was a good
one. So he began studying and working
and, at the age of 13, sold his first painting
at an exhibition sponsored by his father
and held in his hometown.
From the time he was a teenager Jose
had two obsessions: to paint and to go to
40
America. He read everything he could find
about U.S. history and became so enam­ored
of the country's ideals of freedom and
opportunity that he vowed someday he
would live and work there.
But then the Spanish Civil War
erupted in 1936, and, for a time, Jose's
dreams were pushed aside and replaced by
the much more immediate struggle for sur­vival.
Because he lived in a Communist
zone Jose was drafted by the Republic. For
several months he hid in the mountains
to avoid entering the army and fighting
against General Franco, with whom the
Vives-Atsara family sympathized. Then
one day his father's life was threatened,
leaving Jose no recourse but to join the
Republican forces.
For two years he pretended to be a
Communist, for to do otherwise would
have meant certain death. Then, when the
opportunity arose, he escaped and de­fected
to the side of the Conservatives.
Before he was accepted into the ranks of
Franco's army, however, he was treated as
a prisoner of war and placed in a concen­tration
camp. Fortunately, Franco's take­over
of Catalonia- in a victory that effec­tively
ended the war-was not long in
coming. Senor Vives was able to convince
the authorities of his son's true loyalties,
and Jose was released and served under
Franco for nearly two years.
During the war and his time in the
concentration camp, Jose was not able to
paint. Even though he had practiced his
art through mental exercises, visualizing
scenes and analyzing how he would repro­duce
the colors, he was afraid that after
five years his skills were lost. But when he
finally began again, his work was better
than before.
Over the next few years he worked to
establish himself as a serious artist. His
exhibitions received rave reviews from the
critics, and soon he was confident enough
in his future to ask Emilia, his love of seven
years, to become his wife. On November
27, 1947, with 34 of his paintings packed
in rolls and $3 2-hidden in his toothpaste
tube so the Spanish authorities wouldn't
find and confiscate it-Jose and Emilia
boarded a ship headed for New York City.
But because the 1947 quota for Span­ish
immigrants was so low and they were
refused visas, New York was merely a brief
stop on their way to Caracas, Venezuela,
where they planned to stay with Emilia's
relatives and work to expand his reputa­tion
as a gifted artist. Within a short time,
however, Jose's cousin, who lived in Mexi­co,
urged them to come to Mexico City.
Jose felt there would be more opportunities
to exhibit and sell his art there, and

besides it meant being one step closer to
J\merica. So, once again, they packed up
his precious canvases and moved on.
It was in Mexico that Jose met Mr. J.
Clair Midcap, a well-to-do patron of the
arts who fell in love with his work. Mr.
Midcap lived in San Antonio and often
asked Jose to come and visit. Finally, after
almost six years in Mexico, Jose's desire to
see the United States could be contained
no longer. He obtained a temporary visa,
loaded his paintings in his car and crossed
the border on his way to San Antonio.
With assistance from the Midcaps,
Jose set about the task of introducing
himself to the local art enthusiasts, several
of whom were quite taken with h is paint­ings.
During his stay in San Antonio Jose
made many good contacts and developed
some significant and lasting friendships.
At Christmas time he went back to Mexi­co
to be with his family but resolved to
return as soon as possible and make San
Antonio his home.
After another two years the family
was able to obtain visas, and in September
of 1956 the long-awaited dream of life in
America became a reality. The Vives­Atsaras
settled into San Antonio easily

and comfortably, but unfortunately, their
struggles were not over.
Their chances of becoming perma­nent
residents were slim. Only 200 Span­iards
a year were allowed to enter the
States, and the immigration quotas were
already oversubscribed. Even though Jose
attained the status of a distinguished merit
visitor and received several extensions to
his visa, his applications for residency were
continually denied until, in July of 1958,
he and his family were forced to leave the
country and return to Spain.
But Jose's determination never wa­vered.
In less than a year, with help from
his many friends in San Antonio, his peti­tion
for reentry was approved. Upon
arriving again in the city he wanted to
make sure there was no question of his
desire for permanence, so he bought a
house and enrolled his children in school.
Moreover, he did everything in his power
to demonstrate his abilities as a valuable
asset to the city's cultural growth. This
time his efforts paid off, and in December
1960 the Vives-Atsaras received a very
special Christmas gift-two small green
cards designating them as official residents
of the United States of America.

Ever since that first journey across the
border to visit the Midcaps, Jose knew that
San Antonio was where he wanted to live
and work. But without the support of the
community his goal could never have been
achieved. That's why even now, after near­ly
30 years of dedication and contributions
which have enriched the culture of San
Antonio and Texas, he still feels compelled
to express his gratefulness:
"I think that the luckiest day of my
life is when I put my feet in Texas and
came to make my nest in San Antonio.
This is my home and it's going to be as
long as I live. I will repeat again and again
my gratitude from the bottom of my heart
to the wonderful people who have let us
have our home here to grow our family
and feel happy like never before. I do my
best to deserve everything wonderful that
San Antonio and Texas have given me:'
The 1984 Texas Folklife Festival Com­memorative
Poster is more than a painting;
it is a gift from Jose Vives-Atsara to the
people of his adopted city and state for
helping him attain something few individ­uals
are fortunate enough to ever experi­ence-
the fu lfillment of his lifelong dream.

What do a movie pass and a ticket
to the Texas Folklife Festival have in
common? Well, for about the same
price they both usher you into another
time and place, and broaden your view
of the "real" world outside.
Having all the elements of a histori­cal
epic, the Festival brings the saga of
Texas to life. In the spotlight are the
history and heritage of the more than
30 ethnic groups who braved land and
sea to settle in Texas and ultimately
flourish here.
Produced by The Institute of Texan
Cultures, the Festival is 12 months in
the making. A cast and crew of thou­sands,
including nearly 6,000 partici­pants
from across the state and hun­dreds
of staff members and volunteers,
work year-round to make each one
better than the last. Now that the '84
Festival is under way and the wrap-up
celebration has begun, we would like
to give you a behind-the-scenes look at
the Texas Folklife Festival.
Director Jo Ann Andera has the
job of seeing that the grand scenario
takes shape. Most of the year she
spends her time attending to a multi­tude
of details, everything from casting
the parts to ordering the props.
Then, in early July, she trades in
the metaphorical director's chair and
beret for a golf cart and sun visor and
leaves the studio work behind to go "on
location:' Though she doesn't roam the
15-acre grounds framing scenes between
her thumbs and forefingers, she can be
spotted piloting her golf cart over every
inch of the Festival site supervising the
construction and placement of hun­dreds
of booths and exhibit areas, acres
of shade, additional fencing and 10
fully equipped stages.
Charged with building the Festival
"set" are Jerry Kusenberger, Director of
Physical Plant at The Institute, and
Tommy Moreno, Chief Electrician.
According to Andera, in the six weeks
before the Festival opens, they and
their 26-member crew essentially build
a city for 6,000, complete with electric­ity,
water, shelter and phones.
Inside The Institute, staff members
attend to a multitude of details such as
keeping participants abreast of develop­ments
and arrangements; handling
mail-order tickets; recruiting and
training the many volunteers who help
out during the Festival; producing
brochures, posters, press kits and
programs; and much more.
Back in their hometowns, the
international cast also prepares for their
leading role at the Festival-sharing the
folkways of their forebears. The crafts­men
and artisans, including potters,
spinners, weavers, whittlers, chimney
makers, beekeepers, boat builders,
blacksmiths and others, hone their
skills and perfect their presentations.
The singers and musicians fine­tune
their repertoires: jazz, bluegrass,
folk, country, gospel, bagpipe and
mariachi music, to name a few. And
folk dance troupes representing Greece,
the Philippines, Poland, Germany, the
British Isles, Polynesia, Mexico and
other countries rehearse the perfor­mances
that turn the Festival stages
into a whirl of excitement.
Many of the groups must get ready
to fill a tall order-preparing ethnic
cuisine for 100,000 guests. And that's
not all. There are booths to design and
costumes to make which reflect each
group's culture and heritage.
The result of these efforts is that by
the time the Festival is ready to open,
the grounds have been transformed
into what looks like a deserted back lot
at Universal Studios. But when the
time comes for the Director to signal
·~ction!" a tidal wave of people, tradi­tions,
culture and heritage from all
across Texas floods the scene with life
and color.
Staff, volunteers and participants
alike-everyone works hard throughout
the year to make the Festival a "hit:'
And while it will never win an Acad­emy
Award, we think it's definitely in
the running for the "people's choice" as
one of the best bets in educational
family entertainment in the state.
Everybody is making marvelous
new office machines.
Manpower is training marvelous
new temporaries to run them.
And we're doing it the best way ... with hands­on,
one-on-one operator/machine training. On
real, popular-make word processing systems.
And for those of our temporary workers
already experienced, we test to verify their
levels of skill. Not only for word processing,
but data entry as well.

1 didn't want or try to create just ~mother' poster, but something that follows my characteristic arc and at the same time
is different while captur.ing my own feelings on Texas and its Folklife Festival.
I had four reasons to make up my canvas this way, each one much loved and very, very dear to my heart: the Texas countryside
with its wide open spaces; the pearl of all Missions, San Jose; and above everything the Texas flag transformed in a sky more
beautiful than ever. l said four reasons, and I have only mentioned three. Well, let's not forget that the U.S. flag has the same
colors and its spirit is there. I know because I included it as a revered homage to the greatness of our Nation and our State.
