On EXHIBITION at UTRGV - The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley: Mujeres Innovadoras: Cultural Artistry Over Time August 9, 2025 – December 18, 2025 at UTRGV Main Campus Library The IMAS is grateful for the support from and collaboration with the UTRGV Center for Latin American Arts and the UTRGV Main Campus Library for hosting this outreach exhibition on campus. UTRGV summer interns were able to research, curate, install, and exhibit a selection of works from the IMAS Mexican and Latin American Folk Art Collection. The exhibit examines the important, yet often-overlooked role women play in the transmission of traditional knowledge in communities in Mexico. The exhibit will be up for the Fall 2025 semester. The practice, by women, of traditional artforms in their communities highlights mastery, adaptation, and innovation through the use of new and different materials, concepts, and cultural influences. It is all too common for the contributions of women to be overlooked in history, Mujeres Innovadoras: Cultural Artistry Over Time presents not only the work, tools, and traditions of talented craftswomen but also the ways in which they create and sustain their communities. The works presented embody the sense of comfort and belonging these women help cultivate, while carrying forward traditions that continue to inspire future generations.

ON EXHIBIT Pilgrimage of Light September 11, 2025 – January 25, 2026 By Mark Chen On view at the International Museum of Art & Science 1900 W. Nolana Ave, McAllen, TX 78504 956-681-2800 About the Exhibit Mark Chen explores the conceptual link between the geological age of landscapes and distances of galaxies. For his photography, the artist projects star imagery from space organizations such as NASA, onto remote landscapes in national parks using novel projection techniques. Chen documents his journeys to hard-to-reach landscapes in blogs on his artist website. He describes that, “he invents and repurposes tools as he pushes media boundaries, devising new processes that make possible the executions of his concepts.” The photographs in the series, Pilgrimage of Light, highlight the contrast between the earth and vastness of space. #ExploreIMAS #IMASartist #McAllenTX #RGVlife #photographyexhibition
