This Event has Passed
47th annual Dia de los Muertos Exhibit and Celebration
After graduating from Jefferson High School, he attended
the Art Institute of San Miguel de Allende Guanajuato and in 1983 he received a Bachelor’s of Art Degree from
Trinity University. Frank’s works of art were influenced by his maternal grandmother Dona Petra Ortega’s
collection of Mexican calendar art. His fascination with Mexican folk art and textiles became the subject
matter of his paintings. Frank began his own collection of Mexican regional attire from every Region and State
that make up the country of Mexico. This exhibition is the succession of his sold-out exhibition Mujeres
Regionales in 2022, which was the result of his deep love of Mexican culture and decades of constant creative
effort.
The 47th Annual Altares y Ofrendas Exhibition will be presented in our new Galeria Expresión II.
This event illustrates the artistic, cultural, and religious facets of this popular pre-Columbian Mexican tradition
where death is seen as a natural part of life and this reality is approached with humor a celebration of life.
Photographs of our dearly departed grace altars as well as offerings of food, marigolds, incense, candles, and
other traditional offerings. Altar exhibit artists include: Henry De Leon, Hector Garza, Edna Lugo, Mauro
Murillo, Manola Ramirez, Maria Ramirez, and Luis Valderas.
