Among the highlights is the “Frida Kahlo: Picturing an Icon” exhibition, running through October 5, which offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of the iconic Mexican artist through intimate photographs from her personal albums. Complementing the exhibit are events such as “Garden Night: Color y Alegría” on July 11, featuring Latin fusion band De Tierra Caliente, and a classical concert on August 7 with violist David Pedraz performing works honoring Latin American composers.
The museum also provides inclusive arts programming, including free “Adaptive Arts” sessions for teens (July 8–10) and adults (July 15–17) with special needs. These workshops focus on storytelling and personal expression through media such as painting and collage, guided by the themes in the Frida Kahlo exhibit.
