A Message from the Director
5th St. Mexican American Heritage Corridor Receives Overwhelming Support at Official Ribbon Cutting
“Friday May 2, 2025 was an extremely important day for the Mexican American community in Austin, as we celebrated the official ribbon cutting of the Mexican American Heritage Corridor. The corridor spans along 5th Street from Republic Square Park or Chili Park to Plaza Saltillo in the heart of historic East Austin and the Mexican American barrio. This corridor is a living testament to the enduring legacy and contributions of Mexican Americans to Austin’s history, culture and identity. For over 35 years, our community has demonstrated courage, tenacity and purpose to bring this corridor to fruition.” Remarks from Paul Saldana, President of the Mexic-Arte Museum Board.
Mexic-Arte was joined by City leaders, including Mayor Kirk Watson, the Austin-Saltillo Sister Cities Association, Consulate General of Mexico in Austin and the Downtown Austin Alliance. Over 150 guests enjoyed breakfast and pan dulce as well as music from Mariachi Corazon De Tejas, who were also honored that day.
“The truth is this is an important and historical occasion, because what we are doing is we are officially recognizing the history of the Mexican America Heritage Corridor. This Corridor tells the story of the Mexican American community with every brick, mural and memory, and that’s what is important. Let this corridor be a symbol of unity throughout our city, but a symbol of unity across IH-35. Let it stand as a promise that Austin will preserve and celebrate the communities who have made Austin what it is today.” Remarks from Mayor Kirk Watson.
I Am Extremely Honored!
I am extremely honored and humbled to receive the Meredith Powell Award for Community Culture from the Downtown Austin Alliance. Thank you so much!
This award is also about the many people who have worked and supported my work and Mexic-Arte Museum. I want to thank and acknowledge many individuals and organizations.
I want to thank my family, including my two sisters who are here tonight. Professor Irma Orozco, who has always been there to help translate documents with her knowledge of the Spanish language and Dr Cynthia Orozco, a historian who wrote the first chronology of the Mexican and Mexican Americans in Austin in 1989. This chronology gave us the foundation to develop the concept for the 5th St. Mexican American Heritage Corridor. Both my parents are from Mexico. I received the love of art and creation from my father who transformed pieces of leather into custom leather boots, sculptures—sewing beautiful designs patiently, stitch by stitch. I learned to love learning and to love my culture and heritage by listening to my mother tell stories around the kitchen table.
Later, I was fortunate to attend The University of Texas to study painting and art with great Austin artists. There I met the artist Sam Coronado who later became one of the founders of Mexic-Arte Museum. I thank Sam Coronado.
In 1978, I received a scholarship to study art for five years in Mexico City. All of a sudden, I was in one of the largest cities in the world with great museums. Each time I saw a new painting or discovered new information, all I could think about was that I wanted to take this back to Texas with me to share. In Mexico, I met Pio Pulido. At that time, I did not know about Día de los Muertos. I thank Pio for introducing me to this beautiful tradition. Pio and I moved back to Austin in 1983. On July 18, 1984—three artists Pio Pulido, Sam Coronado and I started Mexic-Arte at the Arts Warehouse at 300 San Antonio St. I wrote the first grant to the City of Austin and organized the first major Día de los Muertos event in Austin. After that, is now history. This year we will celebrate the 42nd Día de los Muertos-Viva la Vida Fest & Parade! Thank you to the thousands of artists, participants, patrons and collectors who have contributed to making this event one of the most creative and beloved traditions in Texas.
I sincerely thank the City of Austin for providing a welcoming place for Mexic-Arte to grow, develop and flourish. In 2001, Mexic-Arte secured a permanent home at 419 Congress Ave. in exchange for educational services. Austin is a place that welcomes artists, energizes creativity and fuels our dreams. The dream of creating a museum is a daunting task. Through support of Austin voters and in partnership with the City of Austin, today, we are building a new museum building.
I must also acknowledge and thank the government of Mexico, which has partnered with Mexic-Arte Museum many times. I want to recognize Consul General Humberto Hernandez Haddad, Cónsul Adscrito Víctor Peláez and Pedro Pablo Perez. Throughout the years, through support of the Consulate General of Mexico, we have brought incredible exhibitions of Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo and many others. Thank you for sharing the art and culture of Mexico with Austin.
All these years over one hundred board members have supported Mexic-Arte. They believed in the mission and in this dream. I thank you and want to recognize Elizabeth Rogers, Vice President, Development; Erwin Cuellar, Treasurer who are here tonight, our current President Paul Saldaña and a past president in particular, Rep. Lulu Flores. I also recognize Stuart Hersh, Building Committee Chair, who has guided the museum building project since 2009.
Then there are the hundreds of individuals over the years who have contributed to Mexic-Arte—the team who produces these programs and exhibitions and who teach in the schools and guide the students through the exhibits. It takes dedication, creativity, talent and professionalism to transform ideas into compelling exhibitions and events. Today we have the best team ever, many who are here tonight–thank you.
I thank the artists have supported the Museum throughout its history, exhibiting (and many donating) their art, painting the murals and the collectors who have donated art to the museum.
I want to thank our sponsors and supporters and the DAA team, Davon Barbour, President & CEO and Raasin McIntosh, VP Active Urbanism, for partnering and investing in Mexic-Arte Museum to bring back the history and heritage of the diverse communities who helped to build Austin. Today, together, we are developing the 5th Street Mexican American Heritage Corridor & Cultural District linking Republic Square to Saltillo Plaza.
This year marks Mexic-Arte Museum’s 42nd year. We are at a crucial time in our history where the arts are being threatened and attacked; many of our Austin arts organizations have had federal grants cut. Mexic-Arte Museum also received two termination letters one from the Institute of Museums and Library Services for the Internship Program and another one from the National Endowment for the Arts grant for $20,000 for the exhibition program. Cuts like this harm our institutions, it harms our community. We as individuals, organizations, businesses, community and as a city must support the arts. We must continue to advocate for funding the arts. The arts greatly contribute to the quality of life of our community.
What does the future hold? What is the future of downtown? We, today, are building that future with every project with every investment. We must be the best that we can be. And as the kid I always had the idea and the attitude that if I did not have something, I could make it. I share this with you today.
I see the 5th Street Mexican American Heritage Corridor developing into a district with museums, cultural and music venues, public art and creative programming, a destination for families and tourists alike. I see the new Mexic-Arte Museum building with a beautiful mosaic mural and school buses lined up with enthusiast students waiting to go inside. I see the green parks covering IH-35 and booming downtown. I see a diversity of people, locals and tourists walking around – and someone stops and says, “Buenos dias! Bienvenidos an Austin.” Welcome to Austin. Then someone else says, “Nuestro museo es su museo.” Our museum is your museum. Nuestra ciudad es su ciudad. Our city is your city—this is what we as a community are making and building for today and for the future.
Thank you, Downtown Austin Alliance, for this award. Thank you for your vision, your work and thank you all for making dreams come true.

Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate a vital voice in Chicano/a/x art history. Bring a friend, see this important exhibit.
June Changarrito, Magaly Cantú
About the Artist
Magaly Cantú is an interdisciplinary artist based in Fort Worth, Texas. She works between traditional printmaking, drawing and expanded ceramic processes. Through the translation of familial relationships, personal memories, photographs and daydreams, Magaly dissects girlhood experiences as a Latina and the impacts of navigating between tradition and modernization. Magaly has shown work at Arts Fort Worth, Reisig and Taylor Contemporary, the University of West Virginia and the K Space Contemporary. Her work has also been added to multiple collections such as the Marais Press print collection at The Hilliard Art Museum and Incisori Contemporanei, Villa Benzi Zecchini, in Caerano di San Marco, Italy. She is currently an MFA candidate specializing in printmaking at the University of North Texas.
Artist Statement
“Tracing through memories, the traditional growing pains of my girlhood were sprinkled with vague moral lessons in transforming into a ‘careful woman.’ This careful woman is taught to care for those around her restlessly; she cares to be seen as pure, beautiful and for her home. This careful woman only exists within this invented space, forcing her to fragment and dream of other worlds and absurd realities. In this surreal narrative, I often recall my mother’s expressions and colloquialisms prevalent in Norteño culture. These motherly sayings and fragmented memories are translated through iterative printmaking, collage and slip-casting processes. These processes carefully mediate the traumatic experiences they represent and imitate the effects of these traumas. Through symbolism and allegory, each piece quietly confronts the repetitive, deeply rooted and openly hidden values upheld by tradition. Casually, these are passed down and carry along sexist traditions and derogatory language. This set of colloquialisms and illustrative representations of girlhood trauma in my work exemplifies an exchange of values and the divided relationship they create between immigrant mothers and their Americanized children.”
Magaly will be at the Mexic-Arte Museum featuring her artwork on the Changarrito cart right outside the Museum’s entrance on the weekends of June 14 & 15 and June 21 & 22 from 12 pm – 3 pm. In addition, Luisa Fernanda Perez, Mexic-Arte Museum’s Curator of Exhibitions and Director of Programs, facilitated a conversation with the artist on the Museum’s Instagram Live on Thursday, June 26, at 5 pm.

Artwork from Mexic-Arte Museum’s Permanent Collection at the Blanton Museum of Art’s exhibition In Creative Harmony: Three Artistic Partnerships
Gift from Antonio Wehnes
This February, the Mexic-Arte was honored to be part of the Blanton Museum of Art’s exhibition In Creative Harmony: Three Artistic Partnerships and lent several pieces from our Permanent Collection to the exhibition. The Blanton states that the exhibition “explores the ways in which artists inspire each other by highlighting the relationships between three pairs of artists: inter-generational Mexican printmakers José Guadalupe Posada and Artemio Rodríguez; friends and innovators in abstract painting and sculpture Arshile Gorky and Isamu Noguchi; and Nora Naranjo Morse and her daughter Eliza Naranjo Morse, who will be creating new work together for the first time.” The Mexic-Arte loan includes two original José Guadalupe Posada broadsides and two Posada lithograph reprints.
José Guadalupe Posada (b. 1852 – d. 1913) is known as one of Mexico’s most famous political artists and illustrators. He created legendary calaveras (skeleton) figures and the popular “La Catrina” (elegant skeleton) image largely associated with the Mexican holiday of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). The pieces lent to the exhibition showcases Posada’s morbid comedy and political satire, while creating a new kind of imagery that helped shape the Mexican art identity that we know today.
In the exhibition, the pieces reflect Posada’s influence on artist Artemio Rodríguez (b. 1972). According to the Blanton, “Both Posada and Rodríguez depict imagined, sometimes apocalyptic, worlds where “all’s fair in love and war.” These two thematic throughlines connect their bodies of work with scenes of murderous skeletons and damsels in distress, often depicted as calaveras y corazones (“skulls and hearts/sweethearts”).
We would like to thank The Blanton Museum of Art for inviting Mexic-Arte Museum to contribute to their wonderful exhibition, In Creative Harmony: Three Artistic Partnerships. You can see our Permanent Collection pieces and the rest of the exhibit from now until July 20, 2025.
