August 3rd will be the last day to view the summer exhibition, Beyond the Shape: El arte de Chente Rodriguez. For many, Vicente, “Chente,” has been a friend and a part of the community since the 1970s. He has dedicated his talent to the production of thousands of graphics and illustrations for schools, churches, events and causes.  But Chente’s strongest contribution is by far his beautiful artwork that speaks in a universal voice to the human spirit with colors, lines, and shapes.

On July 18, 1984, Mexic-Arte Museum was incorporated. 2025 will mark the 42nd anniversary of its founding. Mexic-Arte Museum is one of the few institutions in the US dedicated to preserving and presenting exhibitions and programs focusing on Mexican American and Latinx art and culture.

Friday May 2, 2025 was an extremely important day for the Mexican American community in Austin as we celebrated the official ribbon cutting of the Mexican American Heritage Corridor.

This year Mexic-Arte Museum is organizing multiple events throughout the weekend for the community to enjoy and learn about the history of Cinco de Mayo.

Join us for the opening reception of Beyond the Shape: El Arte de Chente Rodriguez on April 11 from 6 pm – 9 pm at the Mexic-Arte Museum! 

Thank you to the Mexic-Arte Museum Board of Directors!
