The "Tres Grandes" Mexican Muralists Go on a journey through Mexican muralism with Associate Professor of Art History Mya Dosch. We will discuss unique approaches of the "Big Three" Mexican muralists Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros, looking at key examples of their work. These muralists laid the foundation for Chicano muralists here in Sacramento!

Note: There is an opportunity for 30 participants to join Associate Professor Mya Dosch for a 9:00 am tour of the public art on the north side of campus just before the program. Learn the surprising stories behind the historic Chicano murals, abstract sculptures, and new commissions that make Sacramento State unique! (This tour will require us to be on your feet/walking for one hour). No registration required for tour.
