Drawing from the University Art Museum's extensive collection of over 2,200 Mexican retablos, Trinities of Heaven and Earth explores the spiritual and cultural importance of these sacred images. Retablos, small devotional paintings traditionally displayed in Mexican homes, served as vital expressions of Catholic faith and values within the household. The imagery of the Holy Family conveys blessings related to family life, while depictions of the Holy Trinity invoke divine guidance. Together, these themes explore the connection between sacred devotion and earthly life, bridging the divine and the domestic.

The exhibition will open on March 21, 2025, at 5:30 pm in the Margie and Bobby Rankin Retablo Gallery, and will be open until March 7, 2026.

Spirit(s) Art Exhibition Opening Reception: Step beyond the veil at Spirit(s) — an exhibition that stirs what lingers between worlds. From phantom whispers and sacred presences to the electric pulse of human enthusiasm, artists summon their own visions of what “spirit” means. Ghost, essence, divinity, or dream — every work invites you to look closer, and listen for what cannot be seen.

The Spirit(s) art exhibition runs for two weekends, with an opening reception the day after Thanksgiving (Friday, Nov 28 from 5-7pm). There will be a 2nd evening reception the following Friday during December's First Friday art walk (Dec 5, 5-7pm). Saturday and Sunday hours both weekends are 10am-5pm. Friday, Dec 5, hours are 10am-7pm.
