Curator Tour: Oceans of Influence in Viceregal Art
Thursday, April 9, 2026 | 6:30–7:30 pm
Location: North Wing
TICKETS: Free with General Admission. Space is Limited.
Join JoAnna Reyes, Adjunct Curator, Art of the Americas, for an intimate look at Art of Viceregal Latin America gallery. Discover the artistic traditions and innovations of the viceregal period, an era when global exchange transformed visual culture across the Americas.
Reyes will explore works from the 16th to the 19th centuries, a time when Spanish-ruled viceroyalties served as vital trade hubs linking Europe, Asia, and the New World. As ideas and materials circulated across the Atlantic and Pacific, local artists responded with creativity by blending Indigenous techniques with influences from as far away as China and Japan to reinterpret forms like lacquerware and ceramics.
