Ofrenda de la Comunidad

Marking its 42nd year, Mexic-Arte Museum’s Día de los Muertos celebration and the 2025 exhibition, En lo más negro del verano / In the Darkest Domain of Summer (September 5, 2025 – January 4, 2026), invite you to participate in our annual Call for Photos for the community Ofrenda. Each year, altars fill the gallery with memories, photos, and offerings that honor loved ones who are no longer with us. Join us in celebrating, remembering, and keeping this tradition alive together.

En lo más negro del verano / In the Darkest Domain of Summer

En 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. Thirteen 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.

Calaveras de la Calle 5 is a temporary, three-month (October, November, December) art installation and activation, featuring six large-scale skull sculptures along the 5th Mexican American Heritage Corridor in Austin. Positioned at Republic Square, this installation celebrates the diverse cultural influences that have shaped the city. Each skull’s design highlights the contributions of Indigenous, Latine/x, Black, French, Asian, and Chicano cultures, offering visitors an opportunity to explore and learn about these rich cultural histories through the artwork and accompanying activities.
