La Virgen de Guadalupe is one of the world's most important religious and cultural icons.  This image of a maiden cloaked in stars and standing on a crescent moon has been revered, reinterpreted and reinvented over its 400 year history.  
In Mexico, people join together for the festivities of Our Lady of Guadalupe, on December 12th.  This is one of the most important dates in the Mexican calendar.  Thousands of the faithful from around the country make the most important pilgrimage of all those undertaken during the year to the Basílica of Guadalupe, in Mexico City, where the miraculous image of la Virgen is kept.
There are many faces of the Virgin Mary.  Our Lady of Lourdes, La Macarena of Seville, the black Virgin of Czestochowa and many more can be seen in every part of the world.  Not only are their statues in churches, her image is seen in murals, clothing, tattoos, cars, etc. 
Our annual December show allows artists to display their own interpretation of La Virgen.  Whether it be traditional or not, visual or musical, it is bringing people together through art.
