the Studio is a multiuse, interactive space where visitors can relax, recharge, and engage with a variety of artwork and activities while learning about the permanent collection. Each year, the Studio features two temporary installations with regional artists who create an engaging dialogue between their artwork and objects from the McNay’s collection.

Guadalupe Hernandez’s work speaks to the richness of cultural identity and the fluid nature of traditions. Hernandez’s use of traditional methods and tools pay homage to the Mexican artisans who have created papel picado for generations.
