The Mexican Museum unveils the Tequila Don Julio Collection as part of its ongoing celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.

The Tequila Don Julio Collection makes its permanent home at The Mexican Museum in San Francisco following a successful traveling exhibit that included stops in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Houston. The new contemporary art collection, which is made possible in part with generous support from Tequila Don Julio, showcases the expressive, cutting-edge vitality of 17 of today's most prominent Mexican and Mexican American contemporary artists -- three of whom live in the Bay Area -- Viva (Viviana) Paredes, Caleb Duarte, and Julio Cesar Morales. Artist Jorge Rojas, born in Mexico and now living in Salt Lake City, is creating an on-site piece for The Mexican Museum from September 19 to 23. Other featured Mexican and Mexican American artists in the collection include: Ray Martin Abeyta, Tania Candiani, Einar and Jamex de la Torre, Francisco Fernandez aka TAKA, Camille Rose Garcia, Michael Hernandez de Luna, Franco Mondini-Ruiz, Tatiana Parcero, Marcos Ramirez aka ERRE, Jeromino Lopez Ramirez aka Dr. LAKRA, Betsabee Romero, and Arturo Ernesto Romo. The soul and spirit of the arts and cultures of Mexico and the Americas are fundamentally linked. The Mexican Museum voices the complexity and richness of Latino art throughout the Americas, encouraging dialogue among the broadest public.
