Hispanic Heritage Month is Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, and Galleria Dallas is celebrating in three big ways.
First, for its next Artist Collective exhibit, Galleria Dallas will host Los Trompos, a traveling interactive art installation created by Mexican artists Hector Esrawe and Ignacio Cadena. The exhibit will be displayed from Aug. 23-Sept. 30 in the recently updated outdoor plaza near North Italia. The outdoor plaza was redesigned earlier this year to provide shoppers with more spaces to gather with friends and family. The plaza features several seating areas and colorful, updated landscaping, making it a natural place to take photos.
For Los Trompos, the creators drew inspiration for the collection from the popular spinning top that has been a toy loved by children around the world. The collection features six one-of-a-kind, three-dimensional spinning tops in an array of colors and shapes. The colors on each sculpture are made by fabric woven in a traditional Mexican style. The sculptures are interactive and guests can make them spin.
Next, Galleria Dallas will partner with market innovator LuxuryLab Global to create a pop-up shopping experience celebrating the talent and artistry in the Mexican fashion industry. LuxuryLab Global, the most important market intelligence summit for luxury brands in Mexico and Latin America, will bring together Mexico’s top designers and artisans to create a luxury boutique filled with one-of-a-kind finds.
The limited-time boutique will feature a carefully curated selection of high-quality products from more than a dozen talented Mexican and Latin American designers including:
- Eco y Caos – elevated activewear made with style and balance in mind
- Rock & Jewel – alternative jewelry handmade with 100% Mexican silver
- José Sánchez – minimalist leather accessories and apparel produced in Tijuana, Mexico
The public can meet the designers and shop Friday, Sept. 20 and Saturday, Sept. 21 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 22 from noon to 6 p.m.
Finally, Galleria Dallas will host a themed skate night from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21 with a Hispanic Heritage Month focus. Called Frozen Fiesta, the evening will feature music by Latin artists and a chance to skate the night away at Galleria Dallas Ice Skating Center. Admission is $12, plus an additional $5 if you need to rent skates.
“We love celebrating all the cultures that make Galleria Dallas the great destination it has become,” said Angie Freed, general manager of Galleria Dallas. “We’re proud to commemorate Hispanic Heritage Month in a meaningful way, by sharing art and fashions from Latin America.”
