This single-day festival shares the ancient knowledge and the contemporary concerns of the Maya community. It is the only event in the San Francisco Bay Area that brings together Maya people across various Maya regions, languages, and traditions.
We're delighted to announce that our paintings are now being donated to museums and universities throughout the United States and around the world!
In this way we will continue our mission to shine a spotlight on contemporary Maya artists, and promote dignity and human rights for Indigenous and Latina women and men.
