Virgen de Guadalupe Art Exhibition
Dec. 2, 2023 – Jan. 5, 2024
Opening Reception:
6-8 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 2, 2023
The feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe is celebrated on Dec. 12th. According to tradition, the Virgin appeared to Juan Diego, a humble peasant, in 1531, on Tepeyac Hill just north of Mexico City, where there was an ancient temple dedicated to Tonantzin, a female Aztec deity connected to the earth and fertility. Tonantzin means Our Sacred Mother in the Nahuatl language. The Virgin of Guadalupe and Tonantzin continue to be associated symbolically in present-day Mexico and Latin America.
2023 will be the first time that this exhibition will be held at the LCC. In the past, the art show was on display at the Ice House Cultural Center, the Bath House Cultural Center, and the Oak Cliff Cultural Center. Jose Vargas has been organizing and curating this art show since 1992.
