Museum Friends are invited to a special evening exploring Ink & Thread: Codices and the Art of Storytelling.

The program begins with a small reception and a chance to meet members of the curatorial team. Guests will then enjoy a curator-led tour offering insights into ancient Mesoamerican codices and their influence on contemporary works by Enrique Chagoya and Eric Garcia. The tour will also highlight Leslie Tillett’s monumental tapestry and the newly gifted preparatory studies that illuminate his research process. The evening offers a focused look at how artists across time have used codices to record histories, reinterpret narratives, and communicate cultural memory.
