Month: September 2021

On Sept. 17th Mexic-Arte Museum opened the exhibition, MX 21-Resistance, Reaffirmation & Resilience that references two historical events in Mexico that also shaped our lives today, – the five hundred years of the downfall of the Mexico-Tenochtitlán, and the two hundred years of the consummation of Independence of Mexico from Spain. The exhibition draws from works in the permanent collection and new works by invited artists.

Mexic-Arte Museum opens the fall season with the exhibition, MX 21 ̶ Resistance, Reaffirmation & Resilience. 2021 marks an important year for Mexico and Mexican Americans remembering two historical events – the five hundred years of the taking of Mexico-Tenochtitlán and the two hundred years of the consummation of Independence of Mexico from Spain. Mexico has been organizing commemorative events throughout 2021. It is a year of reconciliation, historical memory, and vindication of identity.

We invite you to join us August 6th for the summer reception featuring Mexico, the Border and Beyond: Selections from the Juan Sandoval Jr. Collection and to see the online exhibit, Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands. Mexic-Arte Museum is fortunate to have received  this important Latinx art collection assembled by collector Juan Sandoval throughout his lifetime. We are truly grateful. Mexico, the Border and Beyond will be on exhibition until August 22, 2021.

Kids talking and making noises in the gallery, students raising their hands, guests asking about the art, shoppers in the store! Yes, we are getting back to the normal days at Mexic-Arte Museum. We and our visitors are all so happy. We can finally see and enjoy each others’ smiles and company. We are planning a welcoming reception on August 6th for members and the general public to view the current exhibit, Mexico, the Border and Beyond: Selections from the Juan Antonio Sandoval Jr. Collection Exhibition. Stay tuned!
