SUMMARY:Rosas y Revelaciones: Homage to la Virgen de Guadalupe
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE EXHIBIT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Exhibit \n\n\n\nMexic-Arte Museum is proud to announce the opening of Rosas y Revelaciones: Homage to la Virgen de Guadalupe\, an exhibition honoring one of Mexico’s most enduring cultural and spiritual icons through ninety extraordinary textile works. Curated by Luisa Fernanda Perez\, this exhibition will be on display from April 17th to August 9th. \n\n\n\nCoordinated by Linda Hanna\, Rosas y Revelaciones brings together extraordinary garments and wearable works of art inspired by the image of la Virgen de Guadalupe\, created by textile artists from across Mexico. The collection reflects both deep devotion and bold artistic innovation\, offering visitors an intimate look at the ways traditional techniques can express profound faith\, imagination\, and identity. \n\n\n\nOriginally rooted in Hanna’s long residence in Oaxaca and her close relationships with artisans there\, the exhibition represents a remarkable range of textile traditions. The exhibition focuses primarily on clothing\, reflecting the historical tradition of la Virgen de Guadalupe’s first appearance on a tilma (cloak). \n\n\n\nThe exhibit is a true cross-section of Mexico’s rich textile heritage\, featuring works from artists representing sixteen states\, including Oaxaca\, Chiapas\, Chihuahua\, Guerrero\, Michoacán\, Puebla\, Veracruz\, and Yucatán. Featured artists from Mexico include master textile creators such as artisans from Teotitlán del Valle (Oaxaca)\, San Andrés Larráinzar (Chiapas)\, Tenango de Doria (Hidalgo)\, and Santa Clara del Cobre (Michoacán)\, among others\, whose garments reinterpret la Virgen through embroidery\, weaving\, appliqué\, beadwork\, and mixed media techniques.  \n\n\n\nThe exhibition also features photographs by Jesse Herrera\, documenting Our Lady of Guadalupe Church\, an essential spiritual and cultural site for the Mexican and Mexican American communities of Austin. Herrera is featured in Rosas y Revelaciones for his powerful photographic documentation of the church\, which is the first Catholic church established specifically to serve Mexican and Mexican Americans in Austin. Founded in 1907\, the church became a cornerstone of spiritual life\, cultural preservation\, and community organizing for generations of Mexican and Mexican American families. \n\n\n\nHis photographs\, drawn from the Mexic-Arte Museum permanent collection\, document both devotional practices and the architectural and communal life of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. Importantly\, the original church was located within Austin’s historic 5th Street Mexican American Cultural District\, an area central to the cultural\, artistic\, and civic history of Mexican and Mexican American communities in the city. Through his lens\, Herrera captures not only the physical presence of the church but also the presence of la Virgencita in this community space of Austin\, Texas\, affirming her enduring spiritual and cultural significance. \n\n\n\nSince 1531\, la Virgen de Guadalupe has shaped the cultural and artistic identity of México. Rosas y Revelaciones: Homage to la Virgen de Guadalupe affirms her enduring power\, not only as a religious icon\, but as a universal symbol of hope\, identity\, and resilience. Her image is deeply woven into the cultural fabric of Latin America and beyond. \n\n\n\nSPECIAL TOURS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo celebrate this exhibit\, Mexic-Arte will host two special tours free to the public. The first tour will be led by featured artist and photographer Jesse Herrera\, on Sunday\, April 19th at 12 pm. The second tour will be led by textile artist and project founder\, Linda Hanna\, on Sunday\, April 26th at 12 pm.  \n\n\n\nMuseum Admission is always free on Sundays\, thanks to HEB and the Downtown Austin Alliance. \n\n\n\nFEATURED ARTISTS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJesse Herrera – Born in Monterrey\, Mexico\, Jesse Herrera earned his B.A. in 1975 in art design from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a M.A. Degree in photojournalism from the University of Texas at Austin in 1990.

SUMMARY:Changarrito Residency: Lianna Villarreal
DESCRIPTION:About the Artist\n\n\n\nLianna Villarreal is a jewelry artist based in Texas whose work exists at the intersection of art and science. Through her handmade jewelry brand Villa Atelier\, she creates adornments using genuine gemstones\, freshwater pearls\, and 14k gold-filled and sterling silver findings. Each collection draws its name and inspiration from scientific concepts. Her most popular collections\, Synergism\, Visible Light\, and Photosynthesis\, explore how scientific concepts can be transformed into wearable art. \n\n\n\nIn December 2024\, Villarreal graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science and Arts in Biology and a minor in Sociology. She is currently pursuing formal jewelry training at Austin Community College to advance her artistic ability with an Associate of Applied Science in Jewelry.  Her work is available at several Austin locations including Dear Diary Coffee\, The Plant Society\, The Herb Bar\, and THOSE Vending Machines- Austin Beerworks. She has been featured in VoyageAustin (2025)\, the Biocreative Index (2025)\, and participated in NYC Jewelry Week’s USA Tour (2024). Beyond her jewelry practice\, Villarreal is drawn to work that centers care\, empathy\, and human connection. She will be applying to medical school this cycle\, and is excited to benefit the most vulnerable members of our society\, including people who are enduring substance use disorders and people who are unhoused. \n\n\n\nArtist Statement\n\n\n\n“Medicine is a realm where science and art intertwine. The art of jewelry making and the practice of medicine are both acts of creation– each imbued with a sense of purpose and meaning. The parallels between the two disciplines emphasize the artistry and humanity inherent in both practices. Whether I am crafting a delicate pair of earrings or investigating a complex physiological condition\, I am driven by a shared passion for creativity\, compassion\, innovation\, and the transformative power of human connection.” \n\n\n\n\nLook at Lianna’s Work\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChangarrito Cart – June 14 & 15 and 20 & 21\n\n\n\nArtists have the opportunity to sell their art on the Changarrito cart in front of the Museum (or an offsite location\, as representative for the Museum during various Austin festivals). Changarreando expands the reach of the artist by presenting their gallery online\, while allowing the option to sell merch over Instagram and receive 100% of the sale. \n\n\n\nLianna will be at the Mexic-Arte Museum featuring her artwork on the Changarrito cart right outside the Museum’s entrance on June 14 & 15 and 20 & 21 from 12 – 3 PM . \n\n\n\nFollow us on Instagram and Facebook for updates on original work available for purchase and behind the scenes of the artist’s work\, space\, and creative process.
