From the Publisher: El Museo de las Americas has provided cultural and arts events throughout its history. The museum brings a new summer exhibit to Denver’s community in a few weeks. Please consider attending and possibly donating to this valuable nonprofit.
Museo de las Americas is announces their Summer POP-UP exhibition: “Museo es tu Casa / Museo is your Home,” on view August 21st through September 21st, 2025. This show features 18 Latinx and Chicanx artists who were selected through Museo’s open-call-to-art exhibition process. Museo es tu Casa is a visual arts showcase for reflection, exploration and artistic expression recognizing the diverse contributions of Colorado artists through a lens of hospitality. The free opening reception will be held on August 21, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. at Museo de las Americas.
As a community museum that promotes the diverse arts and cultures of Latin America, this exhibition serves as an early welcoming celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. In the spirit of hospitality, Museo opens its doors as the home (la casa) through an open call-for-art to host artists and their artwork. Latinx and Chicanx Colorado-based artists of all levels were invited to submit artwork that engages and explores the concept of hospitality in Latin American culture. The artworks went through an “open call for art” selection process by the museum’s advisory committee and is curated by Museo’s Exhibitions Manager.
The selected artworks bring about the artists’ personal journeys and relationship with hospitality. Their work, ranging from paintings, sculptures, photography, mixed media and found objects, convey the multiple dynamics in which hospitality can be perceived and shared—from the interpersonal and intimate to the communal and celebratory. Within them, layered connections to the earth, its resources, food, family, generosity and faith can be experienced.

Cárdenas, Amanda López, Anthony LeCombe, Frank Zamora, Gabriela Carrión, Jaime Chihuan, Kimberly Nick Gutierrez, Lupita Borjas, Lupita Jimenez, Mariana Pereira Vieira, Martha Saavedra, Maurilio Tapia, Norberto Mojardin, Odalis Canchola, Romelia Carrillo, Rosa Nájera, Ruth Álvarez Luna, and Tony Ortega.
