ONE WEEK LATER ✨

…and we’re still feeling the energy of Lúmina.

From the music and dancing to the art, food, cocktails, and incredible community that filled the Bechtler, it was a night to remember. 💃🏽

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 Bechtler Fundraiser and made Lúmina such a special celebration.

We’re especially grateful to our Preview Experience guests, sponsors, patrons, and friends. Your generosity keeps the momentum going long after the party ends, supporting the exhibitions, educational programs, and community partnerships that make the Bechtler possible.

PSA: The Tamayos are running a little late. ✈️📦

Our opening reception and curator conversation for “Making an Impression: Pioneering Latin American Printmakers” have been postponed due to an unexpected shipping delay affecting works by Rufino Tamayo.

While we wait for the Tamayos to arrive, the exhibition will still be on view this Saturday, September 26, featuring works by Jesús Rafael Soto, Regina Silveira, and Analia Saban, along with a temporary presentation introducing Tamayo’s artistic practice.

Send the Tamayos some good travel vibes in the comments. ✨

We’ll share a new celebration date as soon as it is confirmed.

In the meantime, visitors can also experience “New Narratives: Recent Acquisitions in Dialogue.” This special temporary installation, on view this Saturday, September 26, pairs recent acquisitions with works that have long been part of the Bechtler’s permanent collection, revealing fresh connections across material, form, subject matter, time, and place.
