SUMMARY:Selections from the Collection: Juan Sandoval Jr.
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE EXHIBIT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Exhibit \n\n\n\nIn early 2020\, Juan Antonio Sandoval Jr. (1946–2021) donated his extraordinary collection to Mexic-Arte Museum\, transforming the Museum’s permanent collection and creating one of its most significant acquisitions to date. Built over more than three decades\, the Sandoval Collection comprises over 1\,500 works by Latine/x artists\, including prints\, photographs\, paintings\, sculptures\, popular art\, publications\, and ephemera from the U.S. Mexico borderlands and beyond. This remarkable gift has greatly expanded the Museum’s ability to preserve\, research\, and share the artistic and cultural histories of varied regions\, ensuring that these works remain accessible to the public for generations to come. \n\n\n\nMuseums often celebrate the artists whose works they exhibit\, while the stories of the collectors and donors who preserve these works remain largely untold. Yet\, collectors play a vital role in safeguarding cultural heritage\, recognizing the importance of artists and artworks long before they enter museum collections. This exhibition highlights a selection of two-dimensional works from the Sandoval Collection\, featuring photographs\, prints\, drawings\, and other works on paper and canvas. Alongside these artworks are photographs and illustrations of Juan Sandoval\, offering visitors a glimpse into the life of the collector whose vision\, curiosity\, and dedication made this remarkable collection possible. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFEATURED ARTISTS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA native of El Paso\, Juan Sandoval dedicated much of his life to education\, scholarship\, and the arts. He served as Reference Librarian and Subject Specialist for Art and Chicano Studies at The University of Texas at El Paso\, where he supported generations of students and researchers. Beyond the library\, Sandoval was an avid collector\, mentor\, and advocate for Latine/x and Chicano/a/x/e artists. His generosity and lifelong commitment to preserving the artistic legacy of the borderlands continue to shape Mexic-Arte Museum’s collection and inspire new audiences to engage with these important works. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExhibition: Selections from the Collection: Juan Sandoval Jr. \n\n\n\nDates: September 11 – January 3\, 2026 \n\n\n\nLocation: Mexic-Arte Museum\, 419 Congress Avenue\, Austin\, TX  \n\n\n\nHours: Monday – Thursday\, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.; Friday – Saturday\, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. & Sunday\, 12 p.m. – 5 p.m. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n INSTALLATION IMAGES

SUMMARY:Día de los Muertos: Coleccionando Memorias
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE EXHIBIT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Exhibit \n\n\n\nRooted in Indigenous traditions and shaped by centuries of cultural exchange\, Día de los Muertos is a celebration of life\, memory\, and the enduring bonds between the living and those who came before us. During this celebration\, traditionally observed on November 1 and 2nd\, families prepare ofrendas with cempasúchil (marigolds)\, candles\, photographs\, favorite foods\, and personal belongings to honor and welcome the return of our loved ones. These traditions and celebrations express remembrance through objects that carry memory across generations. As carriers of energy\, humanity\, and tradition\, these objects embody the stories\, values\, and lived experiences of the people who cherished them. By collecting and preserving such objects\, museums help safeguard not only works of art but also the cultural knowledge\, histories\, and human connections they carry\, ensuring they remain accessible to future generations. \n\n\n\nWhile an ofrenda preserves the memory of an individual\, a museum collection preserves the stories of communities. Every artwork\, print\, sculpture\, and object in the Mexic-Arte Museum Permanent Collection reflects the people\, places\, and traditions that shaped it. Together\, these works document not only artistic expression but also the movement of cultural practices as they travel with individuals\, families\, and communities across borders. Día de los Muertos: Coleccionando Memorias reflects on the Mexic-Arte Museum’s decades of collecting\, preserving\, and sharing the artistic traditions that surround this celebration. \n\n\n\nThe pieces in this exhibition made their way to Austin\, and through diverse programming such as exhibitions and educational activities\, they became integrated into the city’s cultural landscape. From José Guadalupe Posada’s iconic calavera prints to the vibrant cartonería of the Linares family and the work of contemporary artists such as Claudia Zapata and Claudia Aparicio\, the works in this exhibition highlight the many ways artists have expressed remembrance\, identity\, and celebration across generations. By preserving these works\, Mexic-Arte Museum documents not only the evolution of artistic traditions but also the cultural exchange that continues to shape Austin today.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExhibition: Día de los Muertos: Coleccionando Memorias \n\n\n\nDates: September 11 – January 3\, 2026 \n\n\n\nLocation: Mexic-Arte Museum\, 419 Congress Avenue\, Austin\, TX  \n\n\n\nHours: Monday – Thursday\, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.; Friday – Saturday\, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. & Sunday\, 12 p.m. – 5 p.m. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n INSTALLATION IMAGES
