Ofelia Esparza Closing Celebration

Join VPAM for a special closing celebration of Ofelia Esparza: A Retrospective, marking the culmination of the exhibition on view since October 2025. This free, public program brings together community members, artists, and longtime supporters of Esparza’s work for an afternoon honoring women as artists, educators, and culture bearers.

The program will feature a panel conversation highlighting women community culture bearers in art, along with live screen printing, and musical performances. Taking place during Mother’s Day weekend, we invite you to bring your mothers, chosen family, and loved ones to celebrate creativity, care, and community together. More details to be announced soon.

Free and open to the public. RSVPs encouraged at the “Register Now” link below.
