On behalf of the Mexic-Arte Museum Board of Directors and Staff Members, we whole-heartedly thank all our generous sponsors that supported the Museum during this past year of the pandemic.

As soon as we covered all the art and windows, turned all the lights off, locked the door and went home, our fears quickly transformed into determination.
