Join us on March 19, from 5:30–7:30 PM at the El Paso Museum of Art for the Exhibition Reception of “Desert Rinpa” by local artist Mitsumasa Overstreet.

Inspired by the 17th-century Rinpa school founded in Kyoto, Overstreet’s work pays tribute to the desert Southwest while reflecting the cultural influence of his Japanese ancestry. Through traditional Rinpa techniques and imagery of Chihuahuan Desert flora, the exhibition creates a hybrid installation exploring cross-cultural connection, ancestry, and lived experience.

“Desert Rinpa” is presented in partnership with MCAD’s Artist Incubator Program. Support for the project is provided by the Mellon Foundation, the Texas Commission on the Arts, and the El Paso Museum of Art Foundation.

Join us for “Community Voices,” a poster making workshop on Saturday, March 28 from 10:00 AM-1:00 PM.

This FREE activity is part of the City of El Paso’s Community & Labor Heritage Month series of events celebrating the people, cultures, and contributions that have shaped the Borderland. Events focus on community connection, cultural expression, and the shared history of labor and service in El Paso. For more information, visit www.ElPasoTexas.gov/CommunityEvents.

Posters for a cause, alongside art, have historically been used as tools to celebrate resilience and promote healing in times of struggle. Activists and members of society have utilized poster-making in ongoing social movements, including those led by the United Farm Workers, to uplift and amplify voices of historically marginalized individuals.

EPMA acknowledges the sacrifices and contributions of farmworkers, laborers, and working families. We invite the community to participate in poster making, a creative avenue for self-expression, reflection, and healing.
