SUMMARY:En lo más negro del verano / In the Darkest Domain of Summer
DESCRIPTION:Nobody in a Swamp\, Lorena Diosdado\, oil and oil stick on canvas\, 121 in. × 86 in.\, 2024  \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Exhibit: \n\n\n\nThe Mexic-Arte Museum has been celebrating Día de los Muertos for 42 years with its Annual Viva La Vida Festival and Parade\, accompanied by an exhibition that honors this beloved tradition. For this year we are excited to depart from traditional expressions and embrace a wide range of cultural and artistic responses that extend beyond Dia de los Muertos and instead engage with broader themes of death\, nature\, geographic space\, memory\, and the cycles of life. \n\n\n\nEn lo más negro del verano / In the Darkest Domain of Summer is a contemplative exhibition inspired by a haunting poem by Peruvian writer Blanca Varela. Twelve emerging artists respond through painting\, ceramics\, installation\, film\, and more\, exploring death as an ever-present force woven through memory\, mourning\, and renewal. Much like Día de los Muertos\, these works become echoes of people\, places\, and histories\, inviting visitors to reflect on the cycle of life where beauty and loss intertwine. \n\n\n\nEn lo más negro del verano / In the Darkest Domain of Summer es una exposición contemplativa inspirada en un poema conmovedor de la escritora peruana Blanca Varela. Doce artistas emergentes responden a sus palabras a través de pintura\, cerámica\, instalación\, cine y más\, explorando la muerte como una fuerza siempre presente entretejida con la memoria\, el duelo y la renovación. Al igual que en el Día de los Muertos\, estas obras se convierten en ecos de personas\, lugares e historias\, invitando al público a reflexionar sobre el ciclo de la vida\, donde la belleza y la pérdida se entrelazan. \n\n\n\nParticipating Artists / Artistas participantes \n\n\n\n\nCamila Abbud\n\n\n\nBieke Campos\n\n\n\nVia Madison Ceaser\n\n\n\nJahaira Daga Acevedo \n\n\n\nAva

SUMMARY:Los Nacimientos
DESCRIPTION:About Los Nacimientos\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNativity scenes\, mangers\, or belenes are traditional elements of the Christmas season in Mexico\, especially among Catholic communities. However\, it is not necessary to belong to a religious tradition to appreciate the creativity\, craftsmanship\, aesthetics\, symbolism\, and dedication involved in assembling or creating a nativity scene. \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\nIn Mexico\, this tradition began during the early years of the conquest as a strategy to aid in the evangelization of indigenous peoples. Over the course of five centuries\, both the composition and technique of the nativity scene have evolved significantly. It is difficult to pinpoint the exact elements that made up the original nativity scene but usually a visual representation of the birth of Jesus Christ is present\, as well as scenes from heaven and hell. \n\n\n\nThe diverse array of nativity scenes is deeply shaped by the cultural traditions of each region or town\, as well as by the unique geographical features of the area. The large nativity scene featured in this gallery includes pieces generously donated by collectors Edwin R. Jordan and Charles H. Geffen. \n\n\n\nLos Nacimientos will be on display from December 11\, 2025\, until January 4\, 2026. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSobre Los Nacimientos\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLos nacimientos navideños\, pesebres o belenes son uno de los elementos tradicionales en México que se utilizan durante las épocas decembrinas\, particularmente entre creyentes del catolicismo\, sin embargo\, no es necesario formar parte de alguna religión para apreciar la creatividad\, la técnica\, la estética\, el simbolismo y el empeño que se pone en el montaje o creación de un nacimiento. \n\n\n\nLa tradición de los nacimientos se remonta a San Francisco de Asís\, quien\, hace poco menos de 800 años en Italia\, ideó el primer pesebre\, inicialmente representado con figuras de tamaño natural\, incluyendo personas y animales reales. Con el tiempo\, la práctica se extendió por Europa\, especialmente en los centros religiosos. A partir del siglo XV\, comenzaron a usarse figuras de menor tamaño\, lo que permitió que los nacimientos pudieran montarse fácilmente en los hogares.  \n\n\n\nEn México\, esta tradición comenzó a principios de la conquista como práctica y estrategia para facilitar la tarea de evangelización de los pueblos originarios. Por su puesto\, a lo largo de cinco siglos\, tanto la composición como la técnica han variado enormemente. Es difícil determinar con exactitud cuáles eran los elementos originales del nacimiento pero usualmente se representa el nacimiento de Jesús así como escenas del cielo y el infierno.   \n\n\n\nLa infinita variedad de formas de los nacimientos responde\, principalmente\, a los elementos culturales de cada región o de cada pueblo\, e incluso hasta de las características geográficas. El nacimiento que se exhibe en esta galería incluye piezas donadas generosamente por los coleccionistas Edwin R. Jordan y Charles H. Geffen.

SUMMARY:Mix ‘n’ Mash - On Repeat: The Musicians Who Shaped Us
DESCRIPTION:Hero Image — Bieke Campos\, Vicente Fernandez\, Oil on Ampersand Board\, 2026 \n\n\n\nAbout Mix ‘n’ Mash – On Repeat: The Musicians Who Shaped Us\n\n\n\n\n\nOscar Noe Guerra-Briseño\, Recuerdos II\, 2026Acrylic on Ampersand Gessobord\n\n\n\n\n\nJulian Clay\, The Wintons-Amen\, Brothers\, 2026Acrylic on Ampersand Gessobord\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this year’s Mix ‘n’ Mash\, Mexic-Arte invited artists to honor the musicians and performers who have made a lasting impact. The exhibition features work by more than 200 local and regional artists\, each created on high-quality panels generously donated by Ampersand Art Supply. \n\n\n\nThe artworks celebrate the people behind the sound—legendary figures\, emerging artists\, and local musicians whose voices\, styles\, and stories continue to shape culture. Spanning genres\, traditions\, and generations from around the world\, the exhibition reflects music’s universal influence. \n\n\n\nThrough realism\, abstraction\, symbolism\, and reinterpretation\, artists capture the energy of performance\, the intimacy of creation\, and the qualities that make these musicians unforgettable. Together\, these works highlight the power of music and the individuals who continue to shape how we listen\, feel\, and connect. \n\n\n\n\n\nBrigitte Edery\, Dex\, 2026Oil on Ampersand Gessobord\n\n\n\n\n\nLayle E. MurrayMinnie Angel\, 2026Acrylic on Ampersand Gessobord\n\n\n\n\n\nMix ‘n’ Mash\n\n\n\nMix’n’Mash is derived from the terms “mix-and-match” (to combine elements harmoniously and interestingly) and “mash-up” (a work that blends two or more songs or pieces of art from different genres); Mix ‘n’ Mash is an original concept by Mexic-Arte Museum\, which refers not only to the mashing of genres into one work of art\, but also to the mixing of work by various artists to create a unique collector’s set.  \n\n\n\nThe art sale increases awareness about the community’s visual arts and art collecting\, provides funding for the museum’s exhibitions\, supports educational programming for children and adults\, and sustains upkeep and care of the permanent collection. Artworks may also be purchased through the museum’s Online Store. \n\n\n\nThank You! \n\n\n\nThe professional quality acid-free panels used by the artists are Gessobords\, made in Austin\, Texas and generously donated by Ampersand Art Supply. Mexic-Arte Museum would like to recognize and thank all the participating artists for their participation and support. \n\n\n\nSponsored By\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPurchased boards can be picked up at the end of the exhibition: March 8\, 2026 – if you have any questions about purchasing please reach out to our store at store@mexic-artemuseum.org  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOpening Reception Video
