Thank you to those who attended the annual Gala de Arte. Themed Nuestra herencia y futuro, the evening was truly a night of love and appreciation for the Museum. We were joined by Trustees and supporters of the Museum, all who believe in the power of Mexican art and culture. The Gala de Arte was an incredible success and we’re thankful to everyone who helped us reach our fundraising goal!

This year we honored the Museum’s Founder and President Emeritus, Carlos Tortolero with the Sandra Cisneros Award. Together we reflected on Carlos’ impressive legacy in the arts. Carlos was truly moved by the love and accolades as he expressed his gratitude and delight with his family alongside him.

Add to the festivities by making a contribution in honor of Carlos Tortolero’s 30+ years of service.
