Hispanic Heritage Month: Events and Honors

See historically significant paintings, sculptures, textiles, and writings from Colorado’s Chicano/Mexican American community, including selections from up-and-coming artists as well as such prominent figures as Carlota EspinoZa, Carlos Fresquez, and David Ocelotl García. Presented in collaboration with the Denver Latino Cultural Arts Center, Hecho en Colorado (Made in Colorado) honors the artistic achievements of a community whose impact continues to shape Colorado culture.

We’re teaming up with the Denver Public Library to bring you a masked free day on Saturday October 10th from 12-5pm at Museo that is entirely en español.

Stop by the Los Seis de Boulder sculpture near Temporary Building No. 1 on the CU Boulder campus. The sculpture honors the six Chicanx students and activists, most of whom were affiliated with CU, who died in car bombs in May 1974. A community-created sculpture led by MFA alumna and artist Jasmine Baetz, Engaged Arts and Humanities Scholar 2018-19.

Join us on Zoom for a new series of artist talks, Voces en Arte, coinciding with our latest exhibit, Hecho en Colorado.

This exhibition takes a closer look at the role that art, artists, and their supporters played in the emergence of national identity and creative spirit after the Mexican Revolution ended in 1920. Member tickets go on sale October 9, 2020 - 10 am
