Members are invited to get a first look at our new exhibition, Diego Rivera’s America.

Developed by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), the exhibition examines a prolific time in the artist’s life through over 130 works, including his drawings, easel paintings, frescoes, and more. Between the early 1920s and the early 1940s, Rivera worked in both Mexico and the United States and found inspiration in the social and cultural life of the two countries. He imagined an America—broadly understood—that shared an Indigenous past and an industrial future, and where cooperation, rather than divisions, were paramount.
