1.What is it that you need or could make the market
more ideal for you?
We have like five vacant locals that they should have rented,
we need to fill those spaces up, with new vendors and
different type of merchandise and ideas, and also we
need music, at least once a week, we will very much welcome
it.
2. Ideally, how do you
imagine art could be of use to
you?
Art is very important, I have the art of selling, art of promoting
and also I have a manual art, I collaborated with
Cuchifritos where I have in exhibit a doll which I made on
a roll of toilet paper, also my son carved a pilon (mortar),
and it is as well part of the exhibition of Cuchifrito, and I
am always happy to participate with any art related
themes.
3.What is your ideal relationship/connection to others
in the market?
I feel that a reunion once a month could be wonderful. for
example if one of the vendors has a problem and he
needs help , in the reunion someone can come out with a
help or solution , I think that having that contact it is very
important.

1. Que es lo que usted necesita o que podria hacer
este mercado para que sea mas ideal para usted?
Que renten todos los locales porque tenemos como cinco
sitios vacios, necesitamos llenarlos y que vengan nuevas
personas con differentes tipos de mercaderias y ideas, y
tambien musica nos vendria muy bien por lo menos una
vez a la semana.
2. Idealmente,como usted se imagina que el arte
pueda ser de alguna utilidad para usted?
El arte es muy importante, yo tengo el arte de vender, de
promover y tambien tengo el arte manual, yo colabore
con Cuchifrito y tengo en exposicion una muneca la cual
disene de un rollo de papel higienico, tambien mi hijo
tallo un pilon (mortero), que tambien es parte de la
expocision de Cuchifrito, y yo siempre estoy muy contenta
de participar con qualquier tema de arte.
3. Cual seria su relacion o su vinculo ideal con
las otras personas de este mercado?
Yo siento que una reunion una vez al mes nos vendria
de maravilla, por ejemplo si alguno de los vendedores
tiene algun proplema y no sabe como solucionarlo, en
la reunion alguien daria una solucion, yo creo que es muy
importante tener ese contacto.

1.What is it that you need or could make the market
more ideal for you?
In general this market is very good, perhaps it needs a
little promotion, something direct to the consumers, for
example through out the television, news papers, or
radio.
2. Ideally, how do you imagine art could be of use
to you?
Art is very important to calm,and relax, firstly as an
entertainment, and secondly it helps to get rid off the
daily stress , personally I like to paint , I am novice on
it but it helps me to relax, so I paint to relax myself.
3.What is your ideal relationship/connection to others
in the market?
I could call it a companionship, very familiar we have
a friendship kin to a family, we help each other, we
laugh, sometimes we even horse around, we have
harmony, for me this is ideal.

1. Que es lo que usted necesita o que podria hacer
este mercado para que sea mas ideal para usted?
En general este mercado esta muy bien, quizas necesite
un poco de promocion, algo que sea directo al
consumidor, por ejemplo a travez de la television, periodicos
o radios..
2. Idealmente,como usted se imagina que el arte
pueda ser de alguna utilidad para usted?
El arte es muy importante para calmar y relajar,
primero como entretenimiento y segundo para quitarle
a uno el stress de cada dia , yo personalmente me
gusta pintar podria decir novatamente pero me ayuda
a relajarme, o sea yo pinto para relajarme.
3. Cual seria su relacion o su vinculo ideal con
las otras personas de este mercado?
Companerismo podria llamarlo, muy familiar, con todos
hay una amistad como de familia, nos ayudamos,
reimos, y algunas veces hasta jugamos ,hay armonia.
para mi esto es ideal.

1.What is it that you need or could make the market
more ideal for you?
Ideally all the vendors should wear an uniform , it could
give a much better appearance, and also this market
needs music and adequate and permanent music, and
perhaps extend the market hours until 7pm.
2. Ideally, how do you imagine art could be of use
to you?
Art is personal, has to be something that a person likes
and enjoys, and somehow helps to relax, and also I
think that could help to develop more business, for
example if people goes to see a work of art they
became content, and when people are happy they
have the tendency to spend more, for that reason I
think that art is of a good use.
3. What is your ideal relationship/connection to
others in the market?
Ideally I would like to organize reunions with all the
vendors and try to get to know each other in a different
level, we can have parties, or go on walks, that I would
like, to know them out of the market and be friended
their families, and why not.

1. Que es lo que usted necesita o que podria hacer
este mercado para que sea mas ideal para usted?
Idealmente si todos todos los vendedores llevaran uniformes,
daria una apariencia mejor, y tambien que
haya musica adecuada y permanente, y tal vez extender
las horas del mercado hasta las 7pm.
2. Idealmente,como usted se imagina que el arte
pueda ser de alguna utilidad para usted?
El arte es algo personal, tiene que ser algo que le
guste a la persona y disfrute, y de alguna manera
ayuda a relajarse, y tambien pienso que puede traer
mas negocio por ejemplo si las personas van a ver una
obra de arte se ponen contentas, y cuando la gente es
feliz tiene la tendencia de gastar mas, por eso yo pienso
que el arte es de buen usu.
3. Cual seria su relacion o su vinculo ideal con
las otras personas de este mercado?
Idealmente me gustaria organizar reuniones con todos
los vendedores y tratar de conocernos en otro plano,
hacer fiestas or ir de paseo, eso me gustaria, conocerlos
fuera del mercado y hacer amistad con sus familias,
y porque no.
