Description
The Retablos exhibit is a continuation of the guest curator series showcasing private Houston collections. The works on exhibit provide an insight into the art of the retablo, but more importantly these paintings are windows into understanding traditions associated with sacred spaces, ritual practices, values, and regional customs found throughout the Americas.

This program was made possible in part with a grant from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. The Heritage Society is funded in part by a grant from the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance.
