Whether you're a local art enthusiast or a visitor discovering the city's creative soul, La Peña offers a unique, grassroots experience that connects art with social justice, history, and heritage.
We invite you to explore our ever-evolving exhibitions, meet the artists who shape our community, and take part in the vibrant cultural dialogue that defines La Peña. Admission is always free, and everyone is welcome.

​“My work is inspired by cultural, spiritual and lifetime memories and experiences. I am known for my love of Mexican Loteria, which is full of color and cultural symbols. This century old game, a household staple with families of Mexican ancestry, has inspired families to gather, enriching relationships and building community bonds.
My passion for vibrant color, creating and Christ is what I aspire to share in my artwork. I am diversifying my color palette in murals, paintings, upcycling and crafting.”
