For 28 years, the South Broadway Cultural Center has paid homage to Our Lady of Guadalupe in an exhibit.
The exhibit commemorates the first apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a revered moment in history when she introduced herself to Juan Diego as the Mother of God and the mother of all humanity.
Curator Augustine Romero brings the best in local art and artists to showcase Albuquerque’s position as a true art mecca.
Romero says the South Broadway Cultural Center art gallery is a light and bright, inviting space for viewing the eight curated art exhibitions featured each year.
With free off-street parking and free entry during SBCC hours of operation, and during special events, the art gallery is a wonderful place to visit, he says.
The exhibit runs 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday through Dec. 30.
Since 1924, the South Broadway community has gathered to honor this significant event, which occurred on the hill of Tepeyac in Mexico in 1531.
Romero says the exhibition has become a cherished tradition, fostering a sense of unity and cultural richness within the community.
A highlight of this year’s exhibition is the community altar, a centerpiece created by artist April Gallegos.
Known for her distinctive artistic style and deep connection to cultural traditions, Gallegos brings a unique perspective to the annual celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

The community altar serves as a focal point for collective reflection and reverence, inviting visitors to engage with the rich cultural and spiritual significance of the event.
