Exhibitions and Events
El Nacimiento
December 7th, 2024
The tradition of nativity scenes dates back nearly 800 years to Saint Francis of Assisi, who first created a life-size nativity scene in Italy, featuring real people and animals. Over time, the practice spread throughout Europe, particularly in religious settings. By the 15th century, smaller figurines were introduced, making it easier for people to set up nativity scenes in their homes.

November 9th – December 1st, 2024
Come view a public art installation in collaboration with Mexico City-based Colectivo Última Hora and Austin-based artists: Ruben Esquivel, NIZ, Carmen Rangel, and Ryan Runcie!
