The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts will celebrate Mexican culture at Family Day: Celebrate the Art of Latin America from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., September 13, where the sights, sounds and traditions of Mexico will fill the galleries and grounds with an immersive opportunity to explore Mexican culture through art, music, dance and food.

Performances include the Latin Ballet of Virginia and The Salsa Guy, while hands-on activities invite participants of all ages to engage with Mexican artistic traditions. Guests can create a clay dog, design a Talavera tile or make their own maracas to take home. A collaborative papel picado project, the intricate, brightly colored cut-paper banners often seen during Mexican celebrations, will allow the community to contribute to a shared artwork.

Artist Diego Sanchez will lead a captivating workshop, while 1708 Gallery hosts an interactive art activity designed to spark imagination and dialogue. Local food trucks onsite will provide delicious options to keep everyone fueled throughout the day.

Admission is free. Location: 200 N. Arthur Ashe Blvd., Richmond. For more information, call 804-340-1400 or visit vmfa.museum/events/family-day-celebrate-the-art-of-latin-america-mexico-7503.
