Dallas Contemporary's Spring 2026 Exhibition Opening Celebration
Friday, April 17, 2026
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
161 Glass St. Dallas
Free Admission

On Friday, 17 April from 7.00 - 9.00 PM, join us for the celebration of our spring exhibition Francisco Moreno: Historia Sintética, the Dallas, Texas-based multimedia artist’s first solo museum exhibition, plus, enjoy extended hours and complimentary drinks.

Francisco Moreno (b. 1986, Mexico City) is a Mexican-American artist whose work reimagines history, myth, and identity through a bold visual language that merges Old Master painting traditions with contemporary and fantastical influences. Raised between Mexico and the United States, Moreno explores the complexities of cultural hybridity and belonging. His practice often incorporates references to art history, religious iconography, and Mexican symbolism, which he collides with science fiction, surreal imagery, and invented narratives. The result is a layered body of work that questions the grand historical narratives that shape people and culture, while also examining the nature of our own personal, individual storytelling.

Francisco Moreno: Historia Sintética centers on three major projects that demonstrate Moreno’s desire to bring representational painting into the realms of sculpture, installation, and performance, and to create a theatrical experience of space and time.

Thanks to the support of the Eugene McDermott Foundation, Dallas Contemporary will continue to offer free admission through 2026. Dallas Contemporary is also supported in part by the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture.
